IN an animal how is the DNA from this organelle inherited?

In animals, DNA from mitochondria, the organelles responsible for energy production, is inherited maternally. This means that offspring receive their mitochondrial DNA exclusively from their mother, as the mitochondria in sperm are typically eliminated after fertilization. Mitochondrial DNA is distinct from nuclear DNA and is passed down through the maternal line, leading to traits or disorders associated with mitochondrial DNA being inherited from the mother.
