Cytoplasmic Inheritance

Present in males and females. 

Usually inherited from one parent, typically the maternal parent.

Reciprocal crosses give different results. 

Exhibit extensive phenotypic variation, even within a single family.

Two kinds of independence

1. The genes at each locus were independent in their assortment in meiosis
2. The genes were independent in their phenotypic expression
