Mitochondrial DNA is inherited entirely from mothers
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Sorry fathers, but when it comes to the powerhouse of the cell, you contribute absolutely nothing. Mitochondrial DNA exists entirely separate from the rest of your genome and is exclusively passed down through the maternal line. It is perfectly preserved from mother to child without any genetic mixing from the father, making it an unbroken genetic chain stretching back to ancient humanity.
One discovery leads to another.
