Sonneborn 1943 described the inheritance of some cytoplasmic particles known as kappa and their relation to nuclear gene in paramecium aurelia.
To my knowledge, no cytoplasmic nucleic acid sequence information is involved, but the semiconservative nature of centriole duplication stearns, 2001 does have implications for cloning, particularly if procedures become more sophisticated. Sonneborn demonstrated during his research on paramecium that the structure of the cortex was not dependent on genes, or the liquid cytoplasm, but in the cortical structure of the surface of the ciliates.

Genetics kappa particle inheritance in paramoecium youtube.
Though, the genes of nuclear chromosomes have a significant and key role in the inheritance of almost all traits from generations to generations, they altogether cannot be considered as the sole vehicles of inheritance. Sonneborn decided to look at the surface antigens of paramecium by injecting cells into rabbits and obtaining antibodies able to immobilize the injected strain. The bearing of the determination and inheritance of characters in paramecium aurelia on the problems of cytoplasmic inheritance, pneumococcus transformations, mutations and development.

However, there are other cases, where cytoplasmic inheritance depends on extrachromosomal particles, which are not essential for cell function and, therefore, may be present or absent.
