Genes present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells are found in
Options
- Amitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm
- Blysosomes and peroxisomes
- CGolgi bodies and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- Dplastids and inherited via male gamete.
Correct answer
A. mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm
Step-by-step solution
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.
