Question
question 10 which of these is passed on directly from mother to all of her offspring? mrna plasmid dna the genes from the y chromosome mitochondrial dna
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from mother to all offspring. Egg cells contain mitochondria, and sperm contribute little to no mitochondria to the zygote. mRNA is short - lived and not passed on as genetic material. Plasmid DNA is typically found in bacteria. Females do not have a Y chromosome (males have XY, females have XX), so the Y chromosome genes are not from the mother.
