    Glossary Mitochondrial DNA

    genetic material in mitochondria inherited only from the mother

    Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the genetic material found in mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. Unlike the DNA in the cell nucleus, mtDNA is inherited solely from the mother and is used to study maternal lineage and certain genetic disorders.
