Mitochondrial DNA Analysis

Figure 2
Maternal Inheritance
In this diagram, females
are represented by circles and males by squares. All individuals
shown in blue should have the same mitochondrial DNA sequence
because they are from the same maternal lineage. Thus, all three
children of the first-generation parents have the same mtDNA,
but only the children of the second-generation females share
the same mtDNA sequences.
