In this article we will discuss about the Cytoplasmic Inheritance of Kappa Particles in Paramecium. One of the most striking and spectacular cases of cytoplasmic inheritance occurs in paramecium aurelia. In 1938, T.M. Sonneborn reported that some strains contain kappa particles in the cytoplasm and are known as "Killers ". Kappa particles are about 2 μ x in diameter and [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics and examples of Cytoplasmic Inheritance. Characteristics of Cytoplasmic Inheritance: Information concerning cytoplasmic inheritance is meagre but whatever is known about the occurrence and action that is highly confusing. Some of the cytoplasm characteristics appear to be under the ultimate control of chromosomes but in other cases there is no evidence of [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Nucleus-Cytoplasm Interaction with Hammerling’s Experiment. The cytoplasm is the centre of metabolic activities in the cell and the nucleus is the ultimate controlling centre. The cytoplasm provides the suitable environment in which the cytoplasmic as well as nuclear genes operate. Many enzymes operate through the cytoplasm and particularly through certain living cytoplasmic [...]
