Mitochondrial fusion and fission

Mitochondria divide by simple fission, splitting in two just as bacterial cells do, and although the DNA replication strategies are a little different, forming displacement or D-loop structures, they partition their circular DNA in much the same way as do bacteria.
Mitochondrial division is important for the #remodeling and rearrangement of mitochondrial networks, as well as for enabling mitochondrial segregation during cell division.
