WARRIOR [948]

You could extrapolate from this article that if you eliminated mutations in mitochondria, you could eliminate disease.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mitochondria are found all over our body except in red blood cells. This mitochondria aids in the process of ATP synthesis. Sometimes mutation occurs in the mitochondrial DNA which causes disease in the mitochondria and hence is the root cause of various diseases.

In most cells the mutated mitochondria are removed by the mitophagy which is a natural phenomenon found in all the cells. The mtDNA mutations caused are actually inherited from the mother. Now scientists have developed ways to eliminate the mutated mitochondria from the mother either before or after fertilization. Hence by altering the mutated mitochondria we can eliminate various diseases.
