In Family 1, the clinically-unaffected mother inherited the deletion from her own mother, showing that maternal inheritance of this deletion does not always cause PHP1b.
The maternal inheritance of mtDNA has proved vital to research on human evolution and migration.
Four of 6 families that were studied showed maternal inheritance of the skewed inactivation trait.
Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA results from autophagy-dependent clearance of paternal mitochondria.
Maternal inheritance of mtDNA is the rule in most animals, but the reasons for this pattern remain unclear.
Parental samples of the CNV-positive patients were analyzed in some cases, confirming the de novo occurrence or maternal inheritance of all CNVs examined (Table 1, parts a and b).
Assuming a maternal inheritance of its chloroplast genome, species in Clade B of the cpDNA tree would be the maternal parent, while Clade A could have been its paternal parent (Figure 6).
Metabolic pathway engineering by transgene expression from the plastid (chloroplast) genome offers significant attractions, including straightforward multigene engineering by pathway expression from operons, high transgene expression levels, and increased transgene containment due to maternal inheritance of plastids in most crops.
Today, we know that some of these observations are related to the (maternal) inheritance of organelles residing in the cytoplasm, such as the mitochondria and chloroplasts, organelles which carry their own DNA.
Monist accounts regard the maternal inheritance of organelles such as the mitochondria, which might conceivably be thought to constitute a separate inheritance channel, if not system, to be of marginal conceptual importance.
We tested whether maternal inheritance of met1-3 fromet1-3/+/+ mothers would increase size in 50% of the seeds.
