Dig into the essential role that mitochondrial DNA played in the evolution of living things on Earth, and find out why it’s still evolving.
—
Inside our cells, each of us has a second set of genes completely separate from our 23 pairs of chromosomes. And this isn’t just true for humans— it’s true of every animal, plant, and fungus on Earth. This second genome belongs to our mitochondria, an organelle inside our cells. So why are they so different from anything else in our bodies? Devin Shuman explores the purpose of mitochondrial DNA.

The animation…..🔥🔥
I am supremely disappointed in you TED. This is clickbait and you know it
Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother, and implying otherwise in your title was dishonest
You have set an high bar for content from your organization, and this failed to meet it.
You get mitochondrial DNA from your mother 😒
Why put a misleading title to an otherwise interesting video?!
That is why I never liked biology in school. Too complicated but at the same time interesting.
Misleading title. You do inherit mitochondrial DNA from your mother. Maternal lineage can be traced that way.
Me: reading the title, thinking microbiomes or epigenome – what "genes you don't get from your parents (but can't live without)"?
Video: "This translates to over 150,000 copies of Mitochondrial DNA, that we inherit from our mothers" (2:48)
Me: Is my mother not my parent, Ted ed!
Thank you for being the first one to make me outraged when learning science. I am so disappointed that a channel like Ted ed uses clickbait too
So… I still get the mitochondria and their DNA from my parent? Got it.
I am completely blown away right now!… I had absolutely no clue that we had a second set of DNA living & functioning inside our cells!… Very intresting to say the least!… 👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely LOVE the way the have depicted the evolution of humans!!!!
A tenet of elementary biology is that mitochondria — the cell's powerhouses — and their DNA are inherited exclusively from mothers.
Please help me add Vietnamese. Thanks very much
Im suprised thats all ☺︎︎
I want to inform the public on how me and my son got cured of our Herpes 1&2 and HPV by a Holistic Doctor called DR ALAHO OLU on YouTube.
You DO get all that dna from your parents. Mithocondria is inherited from your mother.
Me who looks almost exactly like my parents: hmmm.
Me after watching this: ah.
is it just me or this video sounded sped up ?
I thought I am in Veritasium channel.
"Explain it to me like I'm I'm an 8-year old"
"Ok why don't you explain it to me like I'm 5…"
– M.S.
"MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL." – School
This is all well and good, but please dont shove the evolution theory down my throat just because it's a plausible explanation. For those who want further info please look up darwinian delusions or subboor ahmed
mother contributes to the mitochondrial DNA. The title is misleading.
Nice video.
0:15
Art teacher: the classical human body proportions fit the head 8 times into the total figure height.
The artist of this video: if I fit twice as much will it count as double classic?
yeah satan works hard, but mitochondria works harder☝
You get it from your mom
damb…….. shawty evolved to be thic as fuq
This links to the fact that female can trace their genetics through the mitochondrial DNA, due to the fact that they get this from their mother. Male genetics are traced via the Y – chromosome, because this is received from the father. This is how genetics is run and how you can trace your lineage . This is wild, Biology is wild.
POWERCONDRIA! MITOHOUSE!

Mind blowing! But Darwin died again when You pictured evolution like a sole line from worst to better.
I can't stand this kind of art but appreciate the work and education
I find the title of this video misleading since technically we all get our mitochondrial DNA from our mother. That is why we can use mitochondrial DNA tests (mtDNA tests) to trace a person's matrilineal ancestry. It was a great watch though! Thanks for creating this informative video!
