Tracking mtDNA heteroplasmy through multiple generations in the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis).

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

McLeod Brenna A, White Bradley N

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial heteroplasmy has been identified in a variety of species and can result from either paternal leakage, whereby sperm mitochondria enter the ova during fertilization, or more commonly by the "survival" and proliferation of mutant variants within an organism. From an evolutionary perspective, this process represents the generation of new mitochondrial diversity within a species. Although this has been...
