"completely different genetic structure". It is worth repeating: animals and humans have completely different genetic structure.
No, they really don't. Bacteria and animals have completely different genetic structures. This misquote makes it clear to me that you completely missed the basic premise: Mitochondria are the energy component in mammalian cells. They have different DNA than the rest of the cell. That is a fact.
