What do you think..?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

According to my knowledge it is said that the mtDNA is inherited from the mother..{maternal}

OpenStudy (xanthe):

I really have no idea. Yes? I mean can the words be used interchangeably?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

no they cannot be used because the mtDNA might be inherited from the mother but the maternal DNA is not always inherited from Mitochondria so they cannot be used interchangeably
