There seems to be no explicit proposal for the most widely held hypothesis for the persistence of mitochondria genomes, but the hypothesis is implicit in many discussions of mitochondrial structure and function. For example, and in contrast to the open question posed by Alberts et al., Cell and Molecular Biology Concepts and Experiments (Karp 2002) provides what is probably still the current consensus view.

In view of the growing importance of the mitochondrion in oxygen sensing and adaptation to hypoxia it is relevant to consider what is known about mitochondrial structure and function in cells grown at low oxygen concentrations.
