Does chroloplast can be passed on to the progeny? How?
Answers
Explanation:
In 2009, Ralph Bock and Sandra Stegemann discovered that genetic information stored in the green chloroplasts can be transferred to another plant by means of horizontal gene transfer. Their results were, at that time, restricted to the transfer of genes between plants of the same species.
Answer: Hope It Helps!!!!!
Explanation:
Scientists have now discovered that a transfer of entire chloroplasts, or at least their genomes, can occur in contact zones between plants. Inter-species crossing is not necessary. The new chloroplast genome can even be handed down to the next generation and, thereby, give a plant with new traits.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts grow in a coordinated process that requires the contribution of two separate genetic systems—one in the organelle and one in the cell nucleus. Most of the proteins in these organelles are encoded by nuclear DNA, synthesized in the cytosol, and then imported individually into the organelle.
Mitochondrial inheritance. Mitochondria, like chloroplasts, tend to be inherited from just one parent or the other (or at least, to be unequally inherited from the two parents) 4start superscript, 4, end superscript.
