HI all A question without notice. We talk about mtDNA being passed from mother to daughter to daughter etc and to he son, but he can't pass it on. We also talk...
... Yes. His mother inherited that mtDNA from her mother (his maternal grandmother) and passed it on to him. The maternal grandmother got it from her mother...
The mitochondrial mutation rate is .0043 per generation, approximately. This was estimated from an Icelandic genealogy database and 272 individuals: ...
HOW MUCH DNA COULD BE ON A STAMP??? Dec 14, 2005 Stamps create DNA nanoarrays Researchers at Ohio State University, US, have come up with a modified molecular...

John that does not really answer the question posed. a simple yes or no was all I wanted Thanks Daryl OK that is what I thought. I asked it because of a the...
Oh, I actually thought Daryl's answer was the correct one for your purposes. It is the timeline of mutations that I wanted to elaborate on. I think putting...
This brings up another question, since Bob's son has the mtDNA of his maternal grandmother, what about his paternal grandmother? If both a mother and father...
Aren't they wasting time, effort and money on a process that is doomed to extinction? Most stamps today are self-sticking and need no saliva. Just how many...
Barb, we are not refering to stamps or envelops from the recent past or the future. The letters under discussion are ones years to decades old. The ones tried,...
one of the problems might be that one does not really know who licked the envelope or stamp! one might have someone else mail it and that person might do the...

Most of us do not have ancestors who left the sealing of an envelope to the help. Regarding the article I listed on the stamp, I realize it referred to a ...
John ok I follow your reasoning bob ... From: John Lloyd Scharf To: DNA-Testing@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 1:27 AM Subject:...
Barb From the answer to my question, then a son of my paternal auntie would carry the DNA of my paternal grandmother female line and would share a common...
your ancestors might have small children or spouses who licked stamps - or may have handed money to the postmaster/mistress and that worthy may have licked it...
The son of your paternal aunt would not share your yDNA because you have separate fathers. The son of your paternal aunt would not share the same mtDNA with...
I still doubt any of my ancestors would have handed off an unsealed envelope to anyone else. In fact, I suspect they would not let anyone else carry it to the...
Perhaps it may help to write down on paper or on a computer thus: your mother, your mother's mother, your mother's mother's mother, your mother's mother's,...
i think most of my progenitors could not write (or read)! however, i suppose some letters got sent, sometimes, one way or another . . . just think some...
my problem is that it might be a surprise and it might just be based on a wrong assumption! it would be good not to assume the person who wrote the letter also...
John and Marvin Read my statement again. I stated that the YDNA would NOT be the same I was not talking about my mtDNA I was talking about MY paternal...
Bob. You do not inherit mtDNA from your father, paternal grandmother or your paternal auntie. Your aunt's son, your paternal cousin, does not have the same...
In reading these, I got a different sense of things. It seems to me that some men would be better taking up a hobby than a spouse. In fact, I think many of...
If the yDNA of my paternal great grandfather matches or nearly matches mine, then the mtDNA would be his mother's. SO, I would gain the mtDNA results of my...
assuming xx is the female... assuming yx is the male... then a mating of these two can produce the next results... y is passed from the sire to the son x is...
Sandy, I think you are confusing mtDNA with the X chromosome. The mitochondria are separate from the DNA in the chromosomes. In fact, some cells have more...
That is interesting. One can only guess that they learned from experience that the maternal connection did not give good results bob ... From: John Lloyd...
