Which one of the following genetic crosses and their results indicates cytoplasmic inheritance?
Updated On: Jan 22, 2025
- Wild-type male x mutant female → 100% progeny are mutant
- Wild-type male x mutant female → 25% progeny are wild-type
- Mutant male x wild-type female → 50% progeny are mutant
- Mutant male x wild-type female → 75% progeny are wild-type
