RESUMO

Non-Mendelian genes in Chamydomonas reinhardtii are inherited in a uniparental (UP) fashion. Most zygotes and their progeny receive UP genes only from the mt+ or maternal parent. However, a few exceptional zygotes are also found in which the mt- or paternal UP genome is transmitted. Most of the exceptional zygotes are biparental in that their progeny segregate UP genes transmitted by both parents. As a result, biparental zygotes have been extensively used to study the rules governing UP inheritance.
