Haldane's Rule

Mitochondrial genes and nuclear genes are replicated and transmitted across generations as physically separated units. The extent to which these autonomous genomes are co-transmitted depends on the position of nuclear genes on autosomes versus sex chromosomes, and co-transmission has important implications for mitonuclear coevolution and conflict. Mitonuclear co-transmission, coadaptation, and coevolution are potentially very important for understanding fundamental evolutionary phenomena like Haldane’s rule. In addition, because mitochondrial genomes are transmitted strictly through maternal lines in most eukaryotes, selection on mitochondrial genes can favor female fitness over male fitness, leading to mother’s curse. The chapter assesses and draws conclusions about the relative importance of mitonuclear coadaptation and conflict in the evolution of eukaryotic lineages.
