Paternal leakage of mitochondrial DNA in the great tit (Parus major).

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Kvist Laura, Martens Jochen, Nazarenko Alexander A, Orell Markku

Abstract excerpt

Animal mitochondrial DNA is normally inherited clonally from a mother to all her offspring. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy, the occurrence of more than one mitochondrial haplotype within an individual, can be generated by relatively common somatic mutations within an individual, by heteroplasmy of the oocytes, or by paternal leakage of mitochondria during fertilization of an egg. This biparental inheritance has so...
