LOW MUTATION ACCUMULATION. “The most evolutionarily successful of heritable symbioses are those that gave rise to mitochondria and plastids, raising the question of why organelles have not been limiting baggage for eukaryotic hosts. Although numerous studies have documented excesses of deleterious mutations circulating within organelle genomes, these mutations are generally recent, remain at low frequencies, and do not become fixed within populations.”
