I really dont get it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My quick summary: Mitochondria possess their own genome and are hypothesized to have been a sort of bacteria that somehow became incorporated into the cytoplasm of larger cells. Mitochondria are able to respirate in this environment, which is advantageous. For a better, more detailed explanation, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion#Origin hope it helps ;D but hey can you help with my question? i dont understand either!
