The human egg has about 2000 mitochondrial genomes, but somatic cells have a range of hundreds to thousands. Which of the following is most likely to account for the difference?

◦ Somatic cells replicate their nuclear DNA at a faster rate than the oocyte.
◦ Mutant mitochondria replicate at different frequencies than do wild type.
◦ Haploid organelle genomes can replicate to form diploid or polyploidy genomes.
