How Genetic Mutation Restricts Mitochondria

 Mitochondria are double-membrane-bound organelle that is considered as a powerhouse of the cell as it generates energy in the form of ATP by using nutrients from food and oxygen. Without mitochondria, higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. Mitochondria help in producing many metabolic products…
