| Pupa mtDNA shows many unique features that are shared with pulmonate land snails. |
| However, these cellular mechanisms cannot explain uniparental mtDNA inheritance in isogamous species with equal-sized and undifferentiated gametes. |
| We assume that every mtDNA molecule has an equal chance of being partitioned to either daughter cell, regardless of where in the cell it is physically located. |
| Thus, from an ad hoc analysis of the mtDNA of mammalian representatives, we cannot gain conclusive evidence for a sister group relationship of dermopterans and primates. |
| To generate a partial mtDNA genomic library, mtDNA was isolated according to Barriga Sosa et al., followed by CsCl isopycnic centrifugation. |
| However, the clonality of human mtDNA has recently been questioned and keenly debated. |
