Changes in genetic material may result in the production of different proteins. These changes in proteins may affect the structures and function of the organism and thereby change the traits of the organisms.

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.
