  biol> med> MITOCHONDIRA are cell ORGANELLES 
             containing RNA and DNA of 
  MATERNAL ORIGIN thus represent 
  A SPECIAL TYPE OF INHERITANCE     sug> MATRILINEAL 
  as MATERNAL MATTER MITOCHONDRIA are the source of 
  CELL ENERGY or LIFE per SYNTHESIS of ATP 
  biol> med> MITOSIS is an indirect mechanism of 
             CELL DIVISION per REPLICATION or 
  DUPLICATION of CHROMOSOMES 
  the process is described in four stages 
  PROPHASE  CHROMOSOME CONDENSE and PAIR as the 
            NUCLEAR MEMBRANE DISOLVES 
  METAPHASE CHROMOSOMES MOVE to an

  ANAPHASE  CHROMOSOMAL PAIRS SEPARATE  sug> ANA 
            and MOVE AWAY TOWARD OPPOSITE POLES 
  TELOPHASE CHROMOSOMES DISOLVE and the  
            NUCLEAR MEMBRANES are FORMED as the  
  CELL STARTS DIVIDING to form TWO DAUGHTER CELLS
