Abstract excerpt
Cell growth and division require the doubling of cellular constituents followed by their equal distribution to the two daughter cells. Within a growing population, the ratio of mitochondrial to cellular volume is maintained, as is the number of mitochondrial genomes per cell. The mechanisms responsible for coordinating nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis, and for balancing increases in cell and mitochondrial...
