Deskripsi
Dégletagne et al. report on an unusual case of doubly uniparental inheritance in the ocean quahog, Arctica isladica. Some individuals in an Icelandic population present homoplasmic presence of male-type mitochondrial genes in somatic tissues, which appears to confer some changes in respiratory capacity in some environmental conditions.
