Mixing of mitochondrial DNAs (heteroplasmy) is unfavorable for reasons unknown. Sharpley et al. show that heteroplasmy has surprising genetic and behavioral effects in mice, even when each haplotype alone produces a normal phenotype. This interference is bioenergetic and may have contributed to the evolution of sexes.
线粒体 DNA 的混合(异质性)是不利的,原因尚不清楚。Sharpley 等人表明,异质性在小鼠中具有惊人的遗传和行为效应,即使每种单倍型单独产生正常表型也是如此。这种干扰是生物能量的,可能促成了性别的进化。
