Linda owns an orchard of orange trees, and she is worried because she notices that many of her orange trees are unhealthy. They appear to have very little resistance to attack by a certain fungus that is destroying their leaves. She consults with some biologist friends, and they tell her that her orchard is threatened by low genetic diversity. How could she improve the ability of her orchard to resist disease in the future?

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
