Non-Nuclear Inheritance info Note Non-nuclear inheritance is the passing on of genes without the use of the nucleus. Most genes are located on chromosomes in the nucleus. However, some genes are found on DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Sperm cells do not pass any mitochondria to the zygote. Mitochondria from the egg are passed to the zygote, meaning we inherit our mitochondria from our mothers (mitochondrial Eve). Genes on mitochondrial DNA are inherited only from the mother .
