Any process that establishes the spatial arrangement of mitochondria between and within cells. The process by which copies of the mitochondrial genome are segregated or distributed into daughter mitochondria upon mitochondrial fission. The distribution of mitochondria, including the mitochondrial genome, into daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis, mediated by interactions between mitochondria and the cytoskeleton. The partitioning of organelles between daughter cells at cell division. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a mitochondrion; includes mitochondrial morphogenesis and distribution, and replication of the mitochondrial genome as well as synthesis of new mitochondrial components. The maintenance of the structure and integrity of the mitochondrial genome; includes replication and segregation of the mitochondrial chromosome.
