The human egg has about 2000 mitochondrial genomes, but somatic cells have a range of hundreds to thousands. Which of the following is most likely to account for the difference?
◦ Heteroplastic cells can give rise to homoplastic cells.
◦ Large mitochondria in oocytes can divide into many smaller mitochondria, and smaller mitochondria can replicate their DNA.
◦ Somatic cells replicate their nuclear DNA at a faster rate than the oocyte.
◦ Mutant mitochondria replicate at different frequencies than do wild type.
◦ Haploid organelle genomes can replicate to form diploid or polyploidy genomes.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
