Respuesta :
This gene is a mitochondrial gene and therefore it is maternally inherited.
What is MT- ND5 ?
The pattern of inheritance that is most likely associated with a mutation in the MT-ND5 gene is
MT-ND5 is a mitochondrial genome coded gene responsible for the protein NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain V protein (ND5).
Individuals are not typically heterozygous with respect to mitochondrial genes because
- Heterozygousity of alleles of a particular gene arises due to contribution of both maternal and paternal genes. This is what happens for nuclear chromosomes.
- Mitochondria is an organelle that contains its independent genome. Only maternal mitochondria gets selected and thus are successfully transferred to the next generation post fertilization.
