True

Mitochondria is present in almost all the eukaryotes and it contains its own DNA as its genetic material which is double-stranded and circular. The gene located on mitochondrial DNA are inherited only by mothers to their offspring.

As the mitochondrial DNA is transported from the female ovum therefore only mother can transfer the mitochondrial DNA to their children however some theories say that even the paternal mitochondrial gene can be transferred to offspring under some specialized condition.

Marysya12 [62]
The correct answer is "i<span>t receives incoming sound information and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit information to the brain."

Cochlear implants function to bypass the damaged cochlea due to sensorineural hearing loss (i.e. chronic noise exposure). Cochlear implants functions just like the hair cells and capture sound and transmit it via the vestibulocochlear nerve or the cranial nerve VIII and then to the temporal lobe in the auditory cortex.

Why are cells limited in size?
seropon [69]
Cell is limited in size for many reasons. Cells wouldn't be respire effectively if it were too large, because the surface area to the volume ratio would be too small.
The other thing is that if the cell were too large, it would be difficult for it to move nutrients and waste products in and out of the cell. So, cells are limited in size.
