Discordant population structure inferred from male- and female-type mtDNAs from <i>Macoma balthica</i> , a bivalve species characterized by doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria
2022-03-02
Abstract excerpt
Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria is a remarkable exception to the Strictly Maternal Inheritance (SMI) in metazoans. In species characterized by DUI --almost exclusively gonochoric bivalve mollusks--females (F) transmit mitochondria to offspring of both sexes, while males (M) pass on their mitochondria exclusively to their sons. Under DUI, males are heteroplasmic, somatic tissues containing F-tr...
