Some sperm mitochondria enter an egg during fertilization, but as sperm nature these mitochondria are tagged with a protein (ubiquitin) that marks them for destruction. What organelle carries out this destruction process?
To explain: The cell organelles that carry out the destruction of ubiquitin-tagged mitochondria of the sperm.
Concept introduction: The sperm only gives the pronucleus to the zygote. The egg only gives the mitochondria, cytoplasm, and the pronucleus to the zygote. Also, the mitochondria have the DNA to produce proteins that are necessary for oxidative phosphorylation.
