DNA is a molecule composed of two chains that form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. Using the genetic information in DNA, scientists can confirm the relationship between parents and children, as children inherit their DNA from their parents. This is especially useful in paternity tests or the event that a missing child reunites with their parent after a long time. Mitochondrial DNA is the DNA that exists inside the organelle called the mitochondria. Mitochondria is a bean-shaped organelle found in large numbers in most cells. It functions as the powerhouse of a cell, supplying respiration and energy production for all molecular activities. What’s interesting to note about mitochondrial DNA is that while we inherit DNA from our parents equally, mitochondrial DNA is inherited specifically through our mothers. Spiritually, we can be reunited with our Sp
