The document discusses mitokontries, organelles found in human cells that contain DNA from the mitochondria and are involved in energy production. Mitokontries are more abundant in cells affected by mitochondrial diseases and can accumulate mutations in their mitochondrial DNA at a higher rate than regular mitochondria. These organelles experience dynamic processes like fusion and fission and may play an important role in mitochondrial function and disease.
