🔋 Mitochondria run their core power system using bacterial-style DNA.
🧬 But they need your nuclear DNA for support, repair, and growth.

Think of it like a battery with its own mini-engine; it sparks on its own, but the car (your cell) builds and maintains it.

Mitochondria are semi-independent, powered by ancient bacterial genes, guided by your human ones.
