Uniparental Inheritance

Uniparental Inheritance is a pattern of non-Mendelian genetic transmission in which organelle DNA, such as mitochondrial or chloroplast genomes, is inherited exclusively from a single parent, typically the maternal parent, thereby contrasting with biparental inheritance observed in nuclear genes.
