The inheritance patterns of genetic material that is not contained in the nucleus of the cell is called .

The options are missing, they are:

A) Extranuclear inheritance

B) Maternal effect

C) Imprinting

D) Nuclear

E) Epigenetic

The answer is A

Explanation:

Inheritance has been said to have to do with genes stored in the genetic material (DNA), which is collectively housed by a membranous nucleus in eukaryotic cells. However, some inheritance pattern has been found to not involve the genes in the nucleus, instead they involve genes present in cellular organnelles like mitochondria and plastids in plant cells. This pattern of inheritance is called EXTRANUCLEAR inheritance.

One difference between nuclear and extranuclear inheritance is that unlike nuclear inheritance that involves two parents, only one parent transfers genetic material to offsprings i.e. uniparental.

allowed for the prediction of the properties of missing elements.

is this a question? wassup
