Yes, DNA carries genetic information from one generation to the next. Half the genes come from the mother, half from the father. The DNA in most human cells has 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father for a total of 46 chromosomes. There are basically 23 types of DNA so cells have twice the DNA that they "need" but if one chromosone is missing a key protein producing gene, usually the other matching chromosone will take up the slack. The exception to this rule is the 23rd chromosome or the X versus Y chromosome. Males have and X and a Y and females have two X chromosomes. Therefore it is the sperm that decides the gender of the child.

The more interesting thing is how these genes combine. When humans produce gametes (sperm or eggs) the gamete gets 23 chromosomes but they are created by mixing the existing matching chromosomes through a process called meiosis. In other words, the child gets one chromosome from each parent, but those chromosomes are a mixture from the grandparents chromosomes. Each sperm and each egg have a somewhat random mixture of genes that come from the grandparents. To understand this better, look up Meiosis.

How are genes transferred from one organism to another?

Through genetic engineering, A small piece of DNA- a gene is taken from one organism and transferred to the geneteic material of a completely different organism. Genes from the chromosomes are cut out using enzymes and transferred to the cell of abacterium.


Are genes made of DNA?

Actually its the other way around. DNA is the structure that contains genes and passes them from generation to generation allowing traits to be inherited. I wish I could go into better detail but I'm more of a physics and chemistry kinda guy.
