Abstract
Although a great deal of effort has been directed towards understanding the mechanism of replication and segregation of chromosomes during cell division, not much is known about organelle segregation. Inheritance of organelles is an important concern to the cell, since de novo synthesis does not appear to be a commonly used mechanism. Some important questions are: (1) What regulatory molecules are responsible for initiating the process of organelle inheritance? (2) How is maternally derived material targeted to the daughter cell? (3) If vesiculation and fusion are involved, do these mechanisms use the same types of molecules involved in other cellular fusion events such as protein trafficking in the secretory pathway?
