Question
Genes fro cytoplasmic male sterility in plants are generally located in
Options
A.mitochondrial genome
B.cytosol
C.chloroplast genome
D.nuclear genome
Solution
Mitochondria are the eukaryotic cell organelles (do not present in prokaryotic cells). These originate from pre-existing mitochondria only. Mitochondria are also known as semi-autono mous organelles because because they contain a circular, double stranded DNA molecule, RNA and 70S type of ribosomes. the genes, located outside of nucleus (within the cyto plasm,)alos govened some traits, and referred to as plasmogenes or cytoplasmic genes, Cytoplasmic male sterility (, dominance of female cytoplasmic genes over male) is due to plasmogenes located in mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA).
