Cytoplasmic inheritance is governed by

Cytoplasmic inheritance is governed by Cytoplasmic DNA, Mitochondrial DNA and Plasmid.
Cytoplasmic inheritance is the transmission of genes that occur outside the nucleus. It is found in most eukaryotes and is commonly known to occur in cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts or from cellular parasites like viruses or bacteria.
The factors governing the cytoplasmic inheritance are called plasmon or plasmogenes, which are present in the chloroplasts (cp-DNA) or mitochondria (mt-DNA).
