High Fidelity Of Mitochondrial Genome Transmission Under The Doubly Uniparental Mode Of Inheritance In Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoidea)

Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been demonstrated in both mytilid and unionid bivalves. Under DUI, females pass on their mtDNA to both sons and daughters, whereas males pass on their mtDNA to only sons. In mytilids, the loss of an original male (or M) mitotype,...
