The following points highlight the two main cases of cytoplasmic inheritance. The cases are: 1. Inheritance of Plastids 2. Kappa Particles of Paramoecium. Cytoplasmic Inheritance: Case # 1. Inheritance of Plastids: The cytoplasm of plants bears minute pigments called plastids. Plastids arise from smaller DNA particles of the ovum and multiply by division. During the formation of gamete a plastid [...]

Here is a list of top fourteen problems on genetics along with its relevant solution. Problem 1: Albinism is recessive to normal body pigmentation in man. It is an autosomal trait. If a homozygous normal man marries an albino girl, what would be the phenotypic and genotypic ratios in F2 generation from this marriage? Solution: Since the two traits (albinism [...]
