extranuclear inheritance

Three general types of extranuclear inheritance exist.

It may be less common than uniparental extranuclear inheritance, and usually occurs in a permissible species only a fraction of the time.

This will result in a uniparental transmission of the trait, just as in extranuclear inheritance.

Peter Michaelis' studies of this genus paved the way for understanding of extranuclear inheritance in plants.

Extranuclear inheritance or cytoplasmic inheritance is the transmission of genes that occur outside the nucleus.

It is the transmission of this organellar DNA that is responsible for the phenomenon of extranuclear inheritance.

Extranuclear inheritance (also known as cytoplasmic inheritance) is a form of non-Mendelian inheritance first discovered by Carl Correns in 1908.

Passion flowers have been a subject of studies investigating extranuclear inheritance; paternal inheritance of chloroplast DNA has been documented in this genus.
