Which is TRUE of mitochondrial DNA?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is indeed found in the sperm's tail, but it is typically not passed on to the fertilized egg, as the egg's mitochondria are the ones inherited by the offspring. This is why mitochondrial DNA can be traced for many generations along the maternal line. Since a son inherits his mitochondrial DNA from his mother, he cannot pass his mother's mitochondrial DNA to his progeny, as his offspring will inherit mitochondrial DNA from their mother.
