Dig into the essential role that mitochondrial DNA played in the evolution of living things on Earth, and find out why it’s still evolving.
—
Inside our cells, each of us has a second set of genes completely separate from our 23 pairs of chromosomes. And this isn’t just true for humans— it’s true of every animal, plant, and fungus on Earth. This second genome belongs to our mitochondria, an organelle inside our cells. So why are they so different from anything else in our bodies? Devin Shuman explores the purpose of mitochondrial DNA.

Why does a cucumber needs do many genes?
You still get them from your mother.
Sorry but the graphics is more distracting than helpful. Also the title is misleading; mitDNA come from our mother, and yes it can mutate like anyone of our regular genes
Cell is the mitochondria of the powerhouse 🏃
Everything is good and beautiful, definitely presenting one side of the reality we live in, but for those who think that not everything can be done by chance, it is clear that there is a higher power that created nature and continues to renew it every day.
Repent for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand
How to repent:
Firstly you need to accept Jesus as Lord and Master of your life – you cannot serve two masters, self and Jesus. Jesus does not have a relationship with sinners, He loves them and cares for them but if they do not turn away from sin abruptly and obey Him they will not be led by Him. He leads His sheep.
You need to make a firm decision to follow Jesus, which means you turn away from sin and serving yourself and accept Jesus as your Master. Go on your knees and cry out to Him for forgiveness of your past sins and ask Him to accept you as a child of God. Humble yourself before Him and cry out loud until you know that you have connected with Jesus. If you are serious He will come to you quickly and give you peace and joy like you never experienced.
You will experience the presence of Jesus in and around you. You then need to stay with Him, pray all the time all day, stop sinning, be holy. Be baptized in water for forgiveness of your sins and He will give you His Holy Spirit to be in you to guide you. You will hear His voice in you.
Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him.
That thumbnail's gonna get people talking
clickbait
so our powerhouse is kind of an alien and was sort of given to us
Aah the power house of the cell, we meet again
So that still means it’s from the parents, specifically the mother
the only genes I didn't get from my parents are the good ones
My Mind was Unexplainable
So Starwars has been lying to me this whole time
Which app do you use to make your animations?
Fascinating!
This video is so cute .your animation is just beautiful ❤️
Why clickbait with such a misleading title? Your mitochondrial DNA, although dynamic, is still passed on to us by our mothers.
Video: “The genes you don’t get from your parents”
Also video: 2:23 “Mitochondrial DNA is passed down from only one parent”
Kita tidak bisa memilih lahir dari ortu/parents seperti apa, latarbelakang keluarga seperti apa, suku/ras di negara apa. Karakter bisa terbentuk krn lingkungan skitar, klo ada yg buruk/negatif jangan diikuti tp ambil yg baik/positif nya saja.
Great stuff, but just don't drink with the living dead:
For anyone who hasnt heard it here it is :
God is truly awesome!!
One day a random cell tried to eat some wierd beans,and he became our ancestors
Bad title 🙁 I'm a genetics instructor and was very curious about the video based on the title, but mtDNA is definitely inherited from your maternal parent! Come on, TED-Ed.
Whats the power on a cell? A Mitochondria!
