Question
![**Question 2**
Variable expression of the MERRF syndrome arises from:
- O recombination between nuclear and mtDNA
- O homoplasmic cells
- O mitotic segregation
- O nuclear genes
- O environmental factors
*[MERRF stands for Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged-Red Fibers, a mitochondrial disorder. The variability in its expression is often due to how mutated mitochondrial DNA is distributed in the body’s cells.]*](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ffdcabf9-292f-4966-b855-5c60442e2ad4/b0af20be-a9ff-4625-b5f7-51faea7f19d0/blu2pzj_thumbnail.jpeg)

Among adults with Turner syndrome, it has beenfound that a very high proportion are genetic mosaics.These are of two types: In some individuals, themajority of cells are XO, but a minority of cellsare XX.
