Sex linkage of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes

The interplay of mitochondrial and nuclear genes means that mitonuclear genetic compatibility is essential to life processes (Lane, 2011). Theoretically, coordination of interacting N-mt and mt genes is facilitated by having mt genes and N-mt genes inherited as a unit, a process known as co-transmis...

Summary:The interplay of mitochondrial and nuclear genes means that mitonuclear genetic compatibility is essential to life processes (Lane, 2011). Theoretically, coordination of interacting N-mt and mt genes is facilitated by having mt genes and N-mt genes inherited as a unit, a process known as co-transmission.
