Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.

Question

How would a human with a mutation in a maternal
effect gene most likely be recognized?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Maternal genes are the genes that allow the deposition of their gene product like RNA or protein in the fertilized egg before the initiation of zygotic gene expression. During early development, embryo depends on products of the maternal genes until its genome gets activated. The maternal-effect refers to the condition in which an organism phenotype is not only based on its environment and genotype but also depends on the maternal (mother) genotype. The mother supplies protein or mRNA to the egg that is responsible for the phenotype of an organism instead of its own genotype.
