- Slajd: 1
- I have a mitochondrial disease? How did this happen?
- Alright Natilie you are gonna want to-
- Natalie? My name is Emma.
- Oh... so you are the cancer patient...well the good news is that there is nothing wrong with your mitochondria!
- Mitochondria genes? I thought the mitochondria was an organelle how does it have genes?
- I shouldn't have asked
- Slajd: 2
- Well there is this theory that suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once their own cells, but got absorbed
- Oh...I guess that makes sense.
- Slajd: 3
- Yeah I don't care THIS much.
- That's also why mitochondria and chloroplasts split like bacteria and have their own membranes!
- In this way, mitochondria appear more like tiny bacteria in a eukaryotic cell.
- Slajd: 4
- Ok then why are they inside of a eukaryotic cell at all? Why don't they just leave and live independently?
- GREAT QUESTION!
- Slajd: 5
- The mitochondria and chloroplasts are now dependent on the cell. They can't live without it
- They have evolved this way. But I'm getting ahead of myself
- Slajd: 0
- Well your mitochondria genes don't function properly.
- That's why they have their own genes. It's called Endosymbiotic Theory.
- I HAVE WHAT??
