Modes of extra chromosomal Inheritance
Uniparental inheritance
Biparental inheritance
Vegetative Segregation
Refers to a mode of inheritance where genetic material or traits are inherited from a single parent
Uniparental inheritance
The genomes of extra chromosomal Inheritance organelles are maternally inherited in most eukaryotes
Uniparental Inheritance
a less common form of extra chromosomal Inheritance where genetic material from both parents contributes to the traits encoded by the extrachomosomal organelles
Biparental inheritance
This can occur when there is a transfer of extrachomosomal genetic material from both the maternal and paternal parents of the offspring
Biparental inheritance
a mode of extra chromosomal Inheritance that involves the random distribution of cytoplasmic Elements during cell division in asexual reproduction
Vegetative Segregation
