Ans: A, B
Feedback:
Mitochondrial DNA mutations generally affect tissues and organs that are highly dependent on oxidative phosphorylation to meet their high needs for metabolic energy. Thus, mitochondrial diseases frequently affect the brain and neuromuscular system and produce encephalomyopathies, retinal degeneration, loss of extraocular muscle function, lactic acidosis, and deafness.
