biparental inheritance of mitochondrial dna in humans
Unlike nuclear dna which is passed on from both parents mitochondrial dna is generally uniparentally inherited with some notable exceptions. Most of the dna can be found in the cell nucleus and in plants and algae also in plastids such as. Mitochondrial dna mtdna or mdna is the dna located in mitochondria cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use adenosine triphosphate atp.
Per the national human genome research institute the extent of human genetic variation is such that no two humans save.

Clinically oriented embryology fertilization creates a new combination of chromosomes that is different from that in the cells of either of the parents and this is the beginning of a new human being. Mitochondrial dna is only a small portion of the dna in a eukaryotic cell. Per the medical textbook the developing human.
