nuclear mutations, and exhibit Mendelian 1:1 segregation.
mtDNA from the wild-type parent, which are
replicated in the offspring.

|---|---|---|---|---|
Segregational:
Some mutants are caused by nuclear mutations, and exhibit Mendelian 1:1 segregation.
|
Neutral:
all offspring are wild-type, having inherited normal mtDNA from the wild-type parent, which are
replicated in the offspring.
|
Suppressive: all offspring are petite, exhibiting "dominant" behavior to suppress wild-type mitochondrial function. | ||
