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??
