In this article we will discuss about the meaning of cytoplasmic inheritance. Genes in the chromosomes have undoubtedly been proved to be responsible for the transmission of the various hereditary characters which in turn are located in the nucleus. But in recent years there have been found some evidences which suggest that inheritance of characters occur by some self-perpetuating or [...]
The following points highlight the top four examples of cytoplasmic inheritance in eukaryotes. The examples are: 1. Sigma Virus of Drosophila 2. Milk Factor in Mouse 3. Maternal Sex Ratio Condition in Drosophila 4. Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CMS). Cytoplasmic Inheritance: Example # 1. Sigma Virus of Drosophila: Normally, Drosophila is anesthetized by CO2 without any after effect. But certain strains [...]
Notes on Cytoplasmic Inheritance :- 1. Introduction to Cytoplasmic Inheritance 2. Characteristic Features of Cytoplasmic Inheritance 3. Classes 4. Significance of Cytoplasmic Inheritance in Plant Breeding. Note # Introduction to Cytoplasmic Inheritance: The inheritance of most of the characters of an individual is governed by nuclear genes. But in some cases, the inheritance is governed by cytoplasmic factors or genes. [...]
