This is nowhere near to the truth. Almost every detail is different and unique in each individual.
This is why we can have so many thousands of constitutional types, and it is why the constitutional types of offspring are NOT the same as those of either parent - with the odd very rare exception.
You can see t his clearly in multiparous animals like dogs and cats who have many offspring in a lifetime. They arrive in multiple different constitutional types - quite different from the parents.
I believe you have misunderstood what Mitochondrial DNA is about.
The mitochondria are microscopic cell inclusions (quite apart from the normal chromosomal DNA areas in the nucleus) that are like miniature energy engines. They also happen to contain a bit of DNA.
ONLY the mitochondrial DNA is passed down the maternal line, inside the cytoplasm of egg cells.
ALL other DNA - such as all DNA in the nucleus on all the chromosomes - is different and unique.
ALL other DNA - all the chromosomal DNA and all the epigenetic layer of DNA - is unique and different.
Mitochondrial DNA is a very small bit of the DNA indeed.
Depends how you define "symptoms".
Either way - it has nothing to do with mitochondrial DNA!
It has everything to do with the DIFFERENCES between individuals and their UNIQUEness
Namaste,
