Uniparental inheritance of organelle genes
the remarkable and varied molecular and cellular mechanisms that produce these patterns. I will also consider the evolutionary consequences of uniparental inheritance and some of the proposed evolutionary explanations for this remarkable difference between the inheritance of organelle and nuclear genes. Patterns and mechanisms of uniparental inheritance vary widely Correns studied the four-o'cl...
متن کاملUniparental inheritance of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes: mechanisms and evolution.
In nearly all eukaryotes, at least some individuals inherit mitochondrial and chloroplast genes from only one parent. There is no single mechanism of uniparental inheritance: organelle gene inheritance is blocked by a variety of mechanisms and at different stages of reproduction in different species. Frequent changes in the pattern of organelle gene inheritance during evolution suggest that it ...
متن کاملOrganelle Inheritance
The need to inherit those membranes that arise from the ER is much less clear. As an example, the integral *Imperial Cancer Research Fund Cell Biology Laboratory membrane proteins and lipids of the Golgi apparatus are derived entirely from the ER. If a daughter did not 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields London WC2A 3PX inherit a copy of the Golgi apparatus, it should be able to synthesize one de novo. Sev...
متن کاملMechanisms of Uniparental Mitochondrial DNA Inheritance in Cryptococcus neoformans
In contrast to the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome does not follow Mendelian laws of inheritance. The nuclear genome of meiotic progeny comes from the recombination of both parental genomes, whereas the meiotic progeny could inherit mitochondria from one, the other, or both parents. In fact, one fascinating phenomenon is that mitochondrial DNA in the majority of eukaryotes is inherited...
متن کاملUniparental inheritance and replacement of mitochondrial DNA in Neurospora tetrasperma.
This study tested mechanisms proposed for maternal uniparental mitochondrial inheritance in Neurospora: (1) exclusion of conidial mitochondria by the specialized female reproductive structure, trichogyne, due to mating locus heterokaryon incompatibility and (2) mitochondrial input bias favoring the larger trichogyne over the smaller conidium. These mechanisms were tested by determining the mode...
