    Ah, the irony. Lance's Subaru commercial tells us it's in the DNA. But = will Lance say thank you to
    the "DNA donor" who is his biological = father?

    Maybe he doesn't really need to - he got all of his mitochondrial DNA from his mother.

    He said "thank you" to the guy who gave him his Subaru paycheck though.

    Most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear DNA.

    True. But w/o the mitochondrial contribution, you can't make properly functioning
    mitochondria...hence (apparently) the presence of "ragged red fibers" in certain neuromuscular
    diseases, in the elderly, in peripheral vascular disease, etc.

    Of course both genetic contributions are crucial for properly functioning mitochondria, but without
    the nuclear component mice don't even make it to birth.

    eg,

    Chen et al, Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 coordinately regulate mitochondrial fusion and are essential
    for embryonic development. J Cell Biol. 2003 Jan 20;160(2):189-200.

    Di Pietro et al, Mitochondrial NAD-dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate
    dehydrogenase-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase is essential for embryonic development. Mol
    Cell Biol. 2002 Jun;22(12):4158-66.
