WHAT DOES HOMOPLASMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Homoplasmy

Homoplasmy is a term used in genetics to describe a mammalian cell whose copies of mtDNA are all identical. Homoplasmic mtDNA copies may be normal or mutated. Most mutations are heteroplasmic - only occurring in some copies of mtDNA - but it has been discovered that homoplastic mtDNA mutations may be found in human tumours. The term may also refer to uniformity of plant plastid DNA, whether occurring naturally or otherwise.
