Researchers systematically replaced 414 essential genes in yeast with similar genes from humans. Almost half of these transplants (47%) were successful: cells with the humanized gene were able to function and grow. What does this observation tell us about differences between yeast and humans?

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.
