What pattern of inheritance would lead a geneticist to suspect that an inherited disorder of cell metabolism is due to a defective mitochondrial gene?

The disorder would always be inherited from the mother because the mother's mitochondrial gene is the only one that survives when the zygote is formed. The gamete from the mother contains all the information. The head of the father's sperm is the only part that survives during fertilization. The tail of the sperm containing the male's mitochondria (an their genes) is lost when the zygote begins development. Thus it is only from the mother that the disorder can be inherited.

What is the incidence of ALA dehydratase deficiency porphyria?
This porphyria type is very rare as it involves the inheritance of 2 recessive defective genes from each parent.
Sickle-cell anemia is a disease passed by autosomal recessive inheritance. What is the likelihood that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene?
It is 100% possible that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene.

Fabry's disease has an X-linked, recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome.
What is the inherited version of Olivopontocerebellar atrophy?
Hereditary OPCA, also called inherited OPCA and familial OPCA, is caused by inheritance of a defective gene, which is recognized in some forms but not in others.
Gaucher disease is caused by what genetic disorder?
Gaucher disease has a recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that a person must inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents in order to have the disease.
