A recent study reveals why most animals, including humans, inherit mitochondrial DNA solely from their mothers, showing that retaining paternal mitochondria can harm development and health. In roundworms, when paternal mitochondria persist, it disrupts ATP production, affecting neurological, behavioral, and reproductive health.
