It’s been a long time (literally multiple decades) since I was taught this stuff, and it’s been forgotten due to disuse. Are you saying there’s still maternal DNA in the offspring, or just in the environment that nurtures them until birth?
I did mention the eggs, BTW - I doubt that aspect can be avoided.
Mitochondria have DNA. Mitochondria are passed from mother to child through the egg. The egg used in the scenario would have mitochondrial DNA from the mother mouse. All of what would typically be called mouse DNA came from the two male mice. So, technically DNA from theatrical line, but only mitochondrial DNA, not mouse DNA.
