Summary Introduction
To explain: The unique features of the mitochondria that are absent from other cellular organelles of human cells.
Introduction: Cytoplasmic organelle, mitochondria, synthesize the energy-rich ATPs (Adenosine Triphosphate) to provide energy to the body. ATP is used in various

- Differences between mitochondrial inheritance and genetic maternal effect?arrow_forwardMitochondria contain their own DNA that is inherited independently of nuclear DNA. From which parent did you inherit your mitochondrial DNA?arrow_forwardExtranuclear inheritance often correlates with maternal inheritance. Even so, paternal leakage may occur. What is paternal leakage? If a cross produced 200 offspring and the rate ofmitochondrial paternal leakage was 3%, how many offspringwould be expected to contain paternal mitochondria?arrow_forward
- Can mitochondrial DNA be inherited from father?arrow_forwardWhy mitochondrial DNA is inherited from mother only in contrast with nuclear DNA which inherited from both of parents (dad and mom)?arrow_forwardTransmission of information from cells to cell or from parent to progeny that is not encoded in DNA. Choose only one please Epistatic inheritance Epigenetic inheritance Meiotic inheritance Genetic inheritancearrow_forward
- Transmission of information from cells to cell or from parent to progeny that is not encoded in DNA. Choose one Epistatic inheritance Epigenetic inheritance Meiotic inheritance Genetic inheritance.arrow_forwardY-linked Inheritance. One trait that is Y-linked is hypertrichosis of the ears. Suppose a man with hypertrichosis marries and has children, what is the chance of his sons getting the trait? His daughters? Why?arrow_forwardExtranuclear inheritance can involve genes that are present in: ribosomes mitochondria autosomes sex chromosomes In humans, which of the following would be phenotypically male? Question 5 options: XO individuals XX individuals XXY individuals XXX individuals Presence of an abnormal number of copies of an individual chromosome in a cell is a condition known as: triploidy heterogamy aneuploidy polyploidyarrow_forward
- What is chromosomal theory of inheritance? List the ways in which genes and chromosomes behave similarly during meiosis and fertilization. How is sex determined in humans? Which sex determines the sex of the offspring? What are the two types of mutations? What are the four types of changes in chromosomal structure? Why would you expect a monosomy to be more lethal than a trisomy?arrow_forwardExplain the term maternal inheritance? Which characters show this type of inheritance?arrow_forwardExplain, at the molecular level, why human genetic diseases oftenfollow a simple Mendelian pattern of inheritance, whereas mostnormal traits, such as the shape of your nose or the size of yourhead, are governed by multiple gene interactions.arrow_forward
