How Mitochondria used to be Parasites that Created Gender
How Mitochondria used to be Parasites that Created Gender Forward: I’ve been too busy this past week to write an article but didn’t want to be on hiatus for so long. I found this article which I wrote four or five months ago but didn’t post because the humor turned out a lot darker than what I would normally do. I dunno, mitochondria are just really based and spicy, I guess. Keep that in…

He is the mitochondria of the cell.
Today Zoro is: the powerhouse of the cell!
Small correction. Mitochondria is NOT transmittable through X chromosome. Given the structure of male gametes it is impossible for them to deliver the mitochondria, so all mitochondria you inherit are from the cytoplasm of the oocyte, cause it's actually big enough to contain and maintain them.
OK so fun Biology fact
if you are born of the female sex and you have a uterus and both ovaries you were born with the exact number of eggs you will have in your lifetime they don't multiply you have all of them at first breath. And that's cool in itself but then you think about your connection to your mother and your maternal line
because not only were you born with all your eggs your mother was born with all her eggs and her mother before that
you.
one of those eggs was you and that goes for all children your egg- the half of you that came from your mother was born with her.
isn't that amazing? you wanna know something else that connects you to your mother?
your mitochondria.
the mitochondria is only transmittable through the X chromosome. and it's thought to have been another organism entirely that ended up becoming part of your cell.
so not only was half of your existence already created with your mother's existence, but your mitochondria has also been shared through your entire maternal line.
there's an interesting way of looking at history through the lives of women... how many mothers ago was World War 1 for you? how many mothers ago was the death of king tut?
when you look at it that way doesn't time feel so small?

Les juro por dios que todo en su diseño tiene correlación con las características morfológicas reales de la mitocondria jsjsjs
I've learned two main things from high school: how to roll a blunt, and that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Tutor: /asks me question about mitochondria/
Me: Mitochondria. The warp core of the cell.
Tutor's minds: I won't let this teenage dumbass become doctor.
