The contribution of the mitochondrial genome to sex-specific fitness variance.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2017

Smith Shane R T, Connallon Tim

Abstract excerpt

Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) facilitates the evolutionary accumulation of mutations with sex-biased fitness effects. Whereas maternal inheritance closely aligns mtDNA evolution with natural selection in females, it makes it indifferent to evolutionary changes that exclusively...
