Conclusion
Mitochondrial DNA, by virtue of the number of studies available and various other
advantages, is far more practical than nDNA for phylogeographic surveys
Heteroplasmy is proved to be important for the evolution and the survival of mtDNA
itself
mtDNA analysis gives an understanding of the history and genetic structure, which in
future may help in prioritization and designing of the conservation plans
