Investigating Patterns of Mitochondrial DNA Inheritance Using New Zealand Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) as a Model Organism

The laws for the inheritance of animal mitochondrial DNA differ from those revealed for nuclear DNA. In contrast to nuclear genes, animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is predominantly inherited through the maternal line and is typically assumed to be nonrecombining. The absence of both paternal transmi...
