Genetic Differentiation of Southeastern Boll Weevil and Thurberia Weevil Populations of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Using Mitochondrial DNA
The southeastern boll weevil, the Mexican boll weevil, and the thurberia weevil are considered to be morphologically similar but behaviorally different variants of the same species, Anthonomus grandis Boheman. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ampliÞed 9.2-kb section of the mitochondrial DNA was cleaved with restriction enzymes. RFLPs of weevils from three cotton growing locations in Texas and ...
متن کاملNotes on a discrepancy in mitochondrial DNA and allozyme differentiation in a pond frog Rana nigromaculata.
Analyses of complete 1143-base pair sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene demonstrated a sister relationship between Japanese R. nigromaculata and Korean R. plancyichosenica, but not with Korean R. nigromaculata, while the allozyme data strongly supported the monophyly of the Korean and Japanese populations of R. nigromaculata. We surmise this discordance to be the result of the inher...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance
Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...
متن کاملThe Mitochondrial DNA Polymerase Promotes Elimination of Paternal Mitochondrial Genomes
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is typically inherited from only one parent [1-3]. In animals, this is usually the mother. Maternal inheritance is often presented as the passive outcome of the difference in cytoplasmic content of egg and sperm; however, active programs enforce uniparental inheritance at two levels, eliminating paternal mitochondrial genomes or destroying mitochondria delivered to the...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA differentiation during the speciation process in Peromyscus.
We address the problem of the possible significance of biological speciation to the magnitude and pattern of divergence of asexually transmitted characters in bisexual species. The empirical data for this report consist of restriction endonuclease site variability in maternally transmitted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) isolated from 82 samples of Peromyscus polionotus and P. leucopus collected from...
