I was just thinking, some animals can change gender if there`s no female around and still make children, does that mean that we humans or more exact, boys, creates life inside themselves? I mean, if you look at a spermie, they look kinda fully developed with personality and everything just having fun before they enter an egg to grow bigger from air and nutrients, so when the spermie later looks like it`s parents, they`re just trying to mimick the looks of them, so it`s not really genes that makes our looks but how we try to look alike?

Mitochondria are basically purple bacteria ( alpha proteobacteria) that have evolved to be permanent symbionts within a eucaryotic cell . Of course they use energy, but so do normal inorganic chemical reactions

But that micochondria, isn`t that evidence of energy being used and therefore, life?
That's an interesting but unimportant question, much like the debate over whether viruses are alive. But really it's more a human problem of categorisation. We like clear dividing lines between our abstractions, but the world doesn't always fall in line (actually, it rarely falls in line).
