A human mother's genes seem to influence brain development while a human father's genes seem to influence growth. What does this imply? O The mother imprints her growth genes and the father imprints his brain development genes. O The mother imprints her brain development genes and the father imprints his growth genes. O Mothers and fathers both imprint brain development genes. O Brain development genes are present in the mitochondria, while growth genes are present in the nucleus.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
