Introduction

Mitochondrial DNA is DNA found in the mitochondria, a double membraned organelle where the aerobic reactions of respiration take place in eukaryotes. The mitochondrial DNA is circular in shape, reminding us of its bacterial origin from the endosymbiont theory. Right after fertilization the small number of mitochondria found in the sperm are quickly destroyed, making sure that all the mitochondria we receive come from our mothers. Mitochondrial DNA is always inherited maternally. This small piece of genetic material is comprised of 16, 569 base pairs and codes for 13 proteins..
The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.

Compose a title for your page.
Type your exact title in the Search window, then press Go. The MicrobeWiki will invite you to create a new page with this title.

Open the BIOL 116 Class 2019 template page in "edit."
Copy ALL the text from the edit window.
Then go to YOUR OWN page; edit tab. PASTE into your own page, and edit.

Section 1 Genetics

Include some current research, with at least one image.

Sample citations: [1] [2]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.

Section 2 Microbiome

Include some current research, with a second image.

Conclusion

Overall text length should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images. Include at least 5 references under Reference section.
