True or false: the genes found in the mitochondrial chromosomes are responsible for inherited traits such as: eye color, height, intelligence and so on.

The likely answer to that question is FALSE;  mitochondrial chromosomes are NOT responsible for inherited traits such as: eye color, height, intelligence.

Mitochondrial DNA is responsible for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and to provide instructions for making molecules such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are chemical cousins of DNA (RNA that plays an integral role in the assembling of amino acids into functioning proteins for the mitochondria.

Dthrough a slow process

Mitochondria produce atp, a high energy compound. atp is used for all sorts of enzyme-mediated reactions, such as making proteins/nucleotides/etc, certain compounds cross the cell membrane, muscles move, etc.  without this source of energy, a cell will die. it will not be able to repair itself, defend against pathogens, etc.
