Genes present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells are found in
(a) mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm
(b) lysosomes and peroxisomes
(c) Golgi bodies and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
(d) plastids and inherited via male gamete
The correct option is: (a) mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm
Explanation:
In eukaryotic cells genes present in the cytoplasm are found in the mitochondria and inherited via egg cytoplasm. Material 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 form effects on the phenotype of the embryo by easily developing within the female.
