• Brian indicates that the mutation is in a gene found in the mitochondrial DNA. What does Brian mean by that and why did he signify mitochondrial DNA? • What is the main function of the mitochondria within the cells? • Describe the composition of the mitochondrial membrane and compare that with the composition of a eukaryotic cell membrane. What are the functions of cell membranes? • Although it is unclear how defects in the mitochondria can cause cell death in the optic nerve, what ...
