Answer:

This disorder/disease is transmitted by the mother

Explanation:

In humans, mitochondria are inherited from the mother. This genetic phenomenon can be used to trace mitochondrial genetic disorders, as well as to make evolutionary/genealogical studies (for example, in phylogenetics and phylogeographic analysis). In mammal reproduction, male mitochondria from sperm are transferred into the egg cell to be subsequently destroyed by internal processes after fertilization.
