Biparental inheritance through uniparental transmission: the doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA
E Zouros - Evolutionary Biology, 2013 - Springer
Many bivalvian mollusks have a sperm-transmitted mitochondrial genome (M), along with
the standard egg-transmitted one (F). The phenomenon, known as doubly uniparental …
