Doubly Uniparental Inheritance of Mitochondria As a Model System for Studying Germ Line Formation Liliana Milani*, Fabrizio Ghiselli, Maria Gabriella Maurizii, Marco Passamonti Department of Biologia Evoluzionistica Sperimentale, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy Abstract Background: Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria occurs when both mothers and fathers are capable of transmitting mitochondria to their offspring, in contrast to the typical Strictly Maternal Inheritance (SMI). DUI was found in some bivalve molluscs, in which two mitochondrial
