Non-mendelian inheritance

inheritance /in·her·i·tance/ (in-her´ĭ-tans)

1. the acquisition of characters or qualities by transmission from parent to offspring.

2. that which is transmitted from parent to offspring.

cytoplasmic inheritance mitochondrial i.

dominant inheritance see under gene.

extrachromosomal inheritance mitochondrial i.

intermediate inheritance inheritance in which the phenotype of the heterozygote falls between that of either homozygote.

maternal inheritance mitochondrial i.

mitochondrial inheritance the inheritance of traits controlled by genes on the DNA of mitochondria in the ooplasm; thus the genes are inherited entirely from the maternal side, segregate randomly at meiosis or mitosis, and are variably expressed.

recessive inheritance see under gene.

sex-linked inheritance see under gene.

maternal inheritance,

the transmission of traits or conditions controlled by cytoplasmic factors within the ovum that are not self-replicating and are determined by genes within the nucleus. An example of such a characteristic is the direction of coiling in the shells of snails. Also called maternal effect.

inheritance [in-her´ĭ-tans]

1. the acquisition of characters or qualities by transmission from parent to offspring.

2. that which is transmitted from parent to offspring; see also gene, deoxyribonucleic acid, and heredity.

intermediate inheritance inheritance in which the phenotype of the heterozygote falls between that of the two homozygotes.

maternal inheritance the transmission of characters that are dependent on peculiarities of the egg cytoplasm produced, in turn, by nuclear genes.

1. the acquisition of characters or qualities by transmission from parent to offspring.

2. that which is transmitted from parent to offspring. See also gene, deoxyribonucleic acid and heredity.

Mendelian inheritance is the basis of all genetic practice, but it has limitations in explaining the small differences that occur in a range of offspring of similar and related matings. Galtonian genetics deals specifically with this problem and is better fitted as a tool in population genetics and in dealing with characters that are dependent on a number of chromosomal loci rather than on a single locus.

autosomal inheritance

controlled by genes located on autosomes.

intermediate inheritance

inheritance in which the phenotype of the heterozygote falls between that of either homozygote.

maternal inheritance

the transmission of characters that are dependent on peculiarities of the egg cytoplasm produced, in turn, by nuclear genes.

X-linked inheritance

see x-linked.

maternal inheritance

Genetics An inheritance pattern displayed by mitochondrial genes that are propagated from one generation to the next through mom; the mitochondria of the zygote come almost entirely from the ovum. See Gene, Inheritance, Mitochondria, Zygote.
