摘要：
The assumption that human mitochondrial DNA is inherited from one parent only and therefore does not recombine is questionable, Linkage disequilibrium in human and chimpanzee mitochondrial DNA declines as a function of the distance between sites, This pattern can be attributed to one mechanism only: recombination.
