Description
mtDNA: mitochondrial DNA; passed from maternal parent to offspring (Haplotype)
Haplotype: a group of genes or genetic markers inherited together from a single parent (Haplotype)
Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes specific sequences of mtDNA that is passed exclusively from maternal parent to offspring (Giles et al. 1980)
Pro's:
It is passed unchanged from mother to offspring, meaning it is fairly stable (Giles et al. 1980)
Each cell has multiple mitochondria vs one nucleus , which means mtDNA it is more likely to be recoverable from degraded samples like scat (Templeton et al. 2013)
