Difference between Heteroplasmy and Mitochondrion

Heteroplasmy vs. Mitochondrion

Heteroplasmy is the presence of more than one type of organellar genome (mitochondrial DNA or plastid DNA) within a cell or individual. The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Similarities between Heteroplasmy and Mitochondrion

Heteroplasmy and Mitochondrion have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cellular noise, Chloroplast, Eukaryote, Genetic recombination, Genome, Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, MELAS syndrome, Mitochondrial disease, Mitochondrial DNA, Muller's ratchet, Organelle, Plastid.

Cellular noise

Cellular noise is random variability in quantities arising in cellular biology.

Chloroplast

Chloroplasts are organelles, specialized compartments, in plant and algal cells.

Eukaryote

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike Prokaryotes (Bacteria and other Archaea).

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) or Leber hereditary optic atrophy is a mitochondrially inherited (transmitted from mother to offspring) degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons that leads to an acute or subacute loss of central vision; this affects predominantly young adult males.

MELAS syndrome

Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is one of the family of mitochondrial cytopathies, which also include MERRF, and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.

Mitochondrial disease

Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell.

Mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA or mDNA) is the DNA located in mitochondria, cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Muller's ratchet

In evolutionary genetics, Muller's ratchet (named after Hermann Joseph Muller, by analogy with a ratchet effect) is a process by which the genomes of an asexual population accumulate deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner.

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, in which their function is vital for the cell to live.

Plastid

The plastid (Greek: πλαστός; plastós: formed, molded – plural plastids) is a double-membrane organelle found in the cells of plants, algae, and some other eukaryotic organisms.
