Sentence examples for maternal inheritance but from inspiring English sources

Its specific neurophysiologic role has been assigned to maternal inheritance but is influenced by hormonal and environmental cues as well.

Female bivalves transmit their mitochondria (carrying F mtDNA) to sons and daughters, as in standard maternal inheritance, but males are believed to effectively transmit their mitochondria (via sperm carrying M mtDNA) to only sons (e.g., [ 22] but see [ 23]).

In mice, deletion of the unmethylated copy of the IG-DMR leads to bidirectional LOI of all genes in the imprinted cluster after maternal inheritance, but imprinting is unaltered after paternal transmission of the deleted methylated copy (Lin et al, 2003).

Maternal inheritance of mtDNA is the rule in most animals, but the reasons for this pattern remain unclear.

Maternal inheritance is also the rule for cpDNA of angiosperms, but gymnosperms including conifers are typically characterized by paternal inheritance of cpDNA (Neale and Sederoff 1989).

Mitochondria are, therefore, in most cases inherited only from mothers, a pattern known as maternal inheritance.

However, both maternal inheritance and male sterility strategy could only block pollen spreading but not seed dispersal by human errors, animal activity or other accidents.
