Not at all. I don't believe the same epigenetic mechanism of methylating DNA to shut it down is active in mitochondria (would have to look it up); but even if it did it wouldn't change how it was inherited or its inherent mutation rate. Epigenetics is just another level of control, it packages DNA that is not actively being used into histone coils; the interesting thing about epigentics (to me)is how moms and dads change the methylation pattern of the DNA they pass down to enhance their own particular reproductive strategies.
Thanks for that. I notice the full article is in Russian.
“moms and dads change the methylation pattern of the DNA they pass down to enhance their own particular reproductive strategies”
Certainly something like this must have happened in a very small population under severe selection pressure (like Berengia).
