Question
CBSEENBI12046958

Genes present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells are found in

  • mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm

  • lysosomes and peroxisomes

  • Golgi bodies and smooth endoplasmic reticulum

  • plastids and inherited via male gamete

Solution

A.

mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm

Genes present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells are found in the mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm. Maternal inheritances are the genetic effects that are transmitted via the maternal line. There are many such effects some resulting from the purely maternal origin of mitochondria or chloroplasts. others from effects on the phenotype of the embryo by easily development within the female, such as maternal influence on coiling of snails.
