Uni-parentally inherited DNA refers to DNA that is passed down exclusively from one parent to their offspring. This type of inheritance occurs through either the mother or the father and includes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosomal DNA (Y-DNA). Mitochondrial DNA is inherited solely from the mother, while Y-chromosomal DNA is passed down exclusively from the father.
Bi-parentally inherited DNA refers to the DNA that is passed down from both parents to their offspring. This type of inheritance includes autosomal DNA, which is found on the 22 non-sex chromosomes. Both parents contribute equally to the autosomal DNA of their offspring, and it undergoes recombination during the formation of gametes, resulting in genetic diversity in the offspring.
