| Abstract | Mitochondria occupy a unique position among cellular organelles because of their possession of a separate genome (mitochondrial DNA - mtDNA) and capability to duplicate DNA and transcribe and translate the genetic information into proteins (semiautonomous organelles). In mammals, mitochondrial genes are non-mendelian and are maternally inherited i.e. transmitted from the mother to the off-spring. | |
