The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In which of the following the inheritance takes place only by male," we need to analyze the given options: nuclear inheritance, cytoplasmic inheritance, co-dominance, and holandric inheritance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Inheritance:** - **Nuclear Inheritance:** This refers to the inheritance of genes located on chromosomes within the nucleus. Both males and females can inherit nuclear genes. - **Cytoplasmic Inheritance:** This involves the inheritance of genes located in the cytoplasm, such as those in mitochondria. Both males and females can also inherit cytoplasmic genes. - **Co-dominance:** This is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed. This type of inheritance can occur in both males and females. - **Holandric Inheritance:** This specifically refers to the inheritance of genes located on the Y chromosome. Since only males possess a Y chromosome, these traits can only be passed from father to son. 2. **Identify the Correct Answer:** - Since holandric inheritance involves genes on the Y chromosome, which only males possess, this type of inheritance occurs exclusively in males. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **holandric inheritance**. 3. **Conclusion:** - The inheritance that takes place only by males is **holandric inheritance**.
