I have heard about the thing that oprah did about finding her roots, and I know that they are just matching genetics with similar ones around the world. But does it actually work if you were to do it? Cuz, I am Latino (Mestizo: Spanish and Indigenous) and I wana know what tribes my ancestors might have come from.

What part of you makes up the mitochondrial DNA? What part of the fathers genetics is in you? What is Mitochondrial DNA? What does it become in the body?
