Selection for male-enforced uniparental cytoplasmic inheritance.

Theory in biosciences = Theorie in den Biowissenschaften - 1 Dec 2010

Sreedharan Vandana, Shpak Max

Abstract excerpt

In most sexually reproducing species, including humans, mitochondria and other cytoplasmic elements are uniparentally (usually maternally) inherited. This phenomenon is of broad interest as a mechanism for countering the proliferation of selfish mitochondria. Uniparental inheritance can be enforced either by the female gametes excluding male cytoplasm or male gametes excluding their own from the zygote. Previous...
