An individual inherits their mitochondrial DNA from their mother.

The little circular chromosome contained inside mitochondria is called mitochondrial DNA. These organelles are the heart of the cell and are present in all eukaryotic cells. The only way for mitochondria and their DNA to be transmitted from mother to child is through the egg cell.

Mitochondrial inheritance: The mitochondria in this particular type of inheritance have their own DNA. Only illnesses resulting from mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are solely passed down through mothers.

Because sperm contain few mitochondria and these break down after fertilization, an individual's mitochondrial DNA is solely acquired from the mother.

Answer:

The correct option is <em>C. Non-genetic factors can influence expression.</em>

Explanation:

Non- genetic factors can be described as factors other than genetic makeup. These factors include environmental factors and factors arising from the lifestyle of an organism.

Certain studies have shown that both the genetic as well as the non- genetic factors play a role in the development of certain characteristics.

In the above-mentioned scenario, both the monozygotic twins have diabetes but one of them is affected 70% of the time due to his lifestyle. The person might be consuming more sugars and alcohol.
