What traits are inherited from the cytoplasmic dna?

Answer»

Those traits are KNOWN as cytoplasmic inheritance.

Extra Information:-

➪ It was discovered by Correns.

➪ Inheritance of Characters which are CONTROLLED by cytogene or cytoplasm is called cytoplosmic inheritance.

➪ Total cytogene present in cytoplasm is called Plasmon.

➪ A gene which is located in the nucleus is called karyogene.

➪ Inheritance of cytogene in organisms occurs only through the female. Because female gamete has Karyoplastm, Simultaneously it has cytogene because of more cytoplasm.

➪ The male gamete of higher plant is called male nucleus.

➪ Male nucleus has very minute cytoplasm that's why male gamete is only inherited karyogene.

➪ Thus, inheritance of cytogene occurs only through female.

➪If there is a reciprocal cross in this condition, then results may be aftected.

➪ Cytoplasmic inheritance involving essential organelles LIKE, Chloroplast and MITOCHONDRIA called as organelle inheritance.
