Differentiate cytoplasmic inheritance from nuclear inheritance ? ...plzzz
Answers
Nuclear inheritance is the one which comes from the genes present on chromosomes, whereas Cytoplasmic inheritance is when genes are inherited from the organelles in the cytoplasm (such as the mitochondria) of the cell and not the nucleus. There are not many genes that are inherited...
extranuclear inheritance or cytoplasmic inheritance is the transmission of genes that occur outside the nucleus. It is found in most eukaryotes and is commonly known to occur in cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts or from cellular parasites like viruses or bacteria.
The difference between Cytoplasmic inheritance and Nuclear inheritance is that Nuclear inheritance comes from the genes which are present on chromosomes, whereas Cytoplasmic inheritance is when the genes are inherited from the organelles in the cytoplasm of the cell and not from the nucleus. Nuclear inheritance follow Mendelian principles and cytoplasm do not.
