What about the mitochondria of clones? Has anyone looked at frequency of
mutations of mtDNA in clones? Is there a resetting of the clock mechanism
operative for mtDNA damage, just like there is for telomere length? In
"traditional " reproduction, is there a selection of less damaged
mitochondria within an individual egg when the zygote starts dividing (can't
see a way for this to happen), or just selection of eggs with more undamaged
mtDNA during meiosis?
