“…After its intraooplasmic microinjection, the karyoplast may also be a source of mitochondria (mitochondrial genome) of heteroplasmic origin. Therefore, a reconstructed cloned embryo, which from a cytological viewpoint is a cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid), harbors the mitochondrial genome of both maternal (oocyte's) and exogenous origin (i.e., introduced together with the nuclear donor cell) [107,111,[160][161][162]. In cloned embryos, fetuses, and offspring, mitochondria are primarily inherited with ooplasmic material.…”
