extranuclear

Beyond the core

Extranuclear means located or occurring outside the nucleus—whether of a cell or an atom.

In biology, extranuclear DNA exists in mitochondria and chloroplasts rather than the cell's nucleus: extranuclear inheritance.

In physics, it describes phenomena outside an atomic nucleus: extranuclear electrons.
