In this article we will discuss about the Streptomycin Resistance in Chlamydomonas. Ruthsagar (1965) has reported some cases of extrachromosomal inheritance in green alga chlamydomonas reinhardi. The alga reproduces by asexual as well as sexual means. It does not have different sexes but has positive and negative strains or mating types (mt+ and mt).

The below mentioned article provides a study note on Inheritance of Mitochondria. Introduction to the Inheritance of Mitochondria: Mitochondria are the cytoplasmic organelles which contain various respiratory enzymes and are main source of energy for the cell. They are found in cell in variable numbers. The complexity of structure of the mitochondria and their similarity in some ways to plastids [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on Genetics of Plastids. In the cytoplasm of the plant cells are found many small cytoplasmic bodies, called plastids. These plastids are of several types, such as, chloroplast, leucoplast, chromoplast and so on. Plastids arise from smaller particles, the proplastids, found in the egg cytoplasm. They reproduce themselves independently of other cell [...]
