Mitochondrial DNA is the small circular chromosome found inside mitochondria. These organelles found in cells have often been called the powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed only from mother to offspring through the egg cell.

Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Mitochondria are located in the fluid that surrounds the nucleus.
