Today I learned that mitochondria are the only organelles that replicate “on their own” inside a cell, while the other organelles just bud off the preexisting ones. I wonder how they are signaled to do so though.

Reminds me of sea slugs that eat plants and then integrate their chloroplasts to produce energy, or my dad who kept swapping the same Honda motor through all our go karts because it was too good to get rid of.
