Subject: clarification of extragenetic
To: darwin-L <DARWIN-L@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu>

It seems I wasn't clear about what I meant by "extragenetic" when asking
for examples of extragenetic inheritance.  I am trying to locate cellular
examples of factors other than nucleic acids (whether they are
cytoplasmically or nuclear encoded) with heritable effects.  For example,
centrioles, basal bodies and other protein structures are good candidates
(but not mitochodiral DNA sequences).
Thanks,
Kelly Smith
