Biological Inheritance




Mechanisms of inheritance:
# Genetic or Mendelian Inheritance results from DNA Replication and Cell Division .
# Epigenetic Inheritance results from, among other things, DNA modifications such as Gene Silencing .
# Non-Mendelian Inheritance includes inheritance based on Cytoplasmic substituents, including Mitochondria and Chloroplasts .

The study of biological inheritance is called Genetics , which includes also Epigenetics .
