Medical genetics a cell may have hundreds or even thousands of mitochondria depending on the particular cell's need for energy.(For example, the average human liver cell contains more than a thousand mitochondria.)

Medical genetics If there is a mutation in a mitochondrial gene, it is passed from a mother to all of her children: sons will not pass it on, but daughters will pass it on to all of their children, and so on
