If it does it'll just cost buckets of cash, and cause a different type of cancer somehow.

What's really interesting about the mitochondrial DNA is that it's not our [human] DNA. It's an entirely different type. The hypothesis is that the mitochondria was originally a separate organism that a single-celled organism attempted to absorb and failed, but they formed a symbiotic relationship, becoming so close that they eventually merged into a single creature. The mitochondrial DNA is what's left of that original mitochondria-organism.

Holy shit, that is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time.

What really blows my mind is the theory of Mitochondrial Eve. Look that up sometime.

Didn't you watch the newer Battlestar Galactica? It's just a human/cylon hybrid.

Now, mitochondrial DNA!
| Quote: |
| Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the DNA located in organelles called mitochondria, structures within eukaryotic cells that convert the chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Most other DNA present in eukaryotic organisms is found in the cell nucleus. |

I'm afraid i must refute.
Mitochondrial DNA is the DNA specific to mitochondria i.e. it's the only DNA located there.
From chromosomes wiki:
Also, cells may contain more than one type of chromosome; for example, mitochondria in most eukaryotes and chloroplasts in plants have their own small chromosomes.
Nearly all other DNA is found in the Cell Nucleus.
Truthfully i wasn't aware of this Mitochrondia DNA, so my bad, but when Aeonic said: "They're also what contains DNA strands" i presumed ALL DNA. |
Actually it's not even all of the DNA related to the mitochondria. Some of the genes related to the operation of them have migrated into the nucleus over the millenia.

This is not a signature. |
