Abstract
GENETICAL experiments by Ephrussi and co-workers1 have adequately demonstrated the existence of extra-chromosomal factors determining the cytochrome oxidase and succino-dehydrogenase activities of yeast clones analysed by them. A particulate nature was ascribed to these factors, and their identity with the mitochondria was suggested in view of the well-known association of the enzymes concerned with these bodies; however, no direct observations on the behaviour of the mitochondria during cell divisions were reported.
