The answer is extrachromosomal, or cytoplasmic, inheritance, or non-Mendelian inheritance. An example in humans is mitochondrion inheritance. Mitochondria are only passed from mother to offspring since only the egg has mitochondria while sperm does not. The name of the German scientist who discovered this type of inheritance was called Carl Correns.

How are whales different from fish
irinina [24]

Whales have horizontally positioned tales opposed to fish and they swim in an up and down type of motion to move, where as fish are the exact opposite flexing and turning their body left and right with their vertical tale to move.

Whales have bigger mouths to eat large schools of krill (their main source of food)

And also, whales are mammals, and breathe with their lungs, whereas fish use gills to breathe underwater. I hope this helped! Please mark Brainliest!
