uniparental
From one parent
Uniparental describes inheritance or origin from a single parent rather than both.
In genetics, uniparental disomy occurs when a child inherits both copies of a chromosome from one parent and none from the other.
Uniparental inheritance also describes traits passed exclusively through maternal or paternal lines: Mitochondrial DNA follows uniparental inheritance through the mother.
