DNA determines what characteristics the cell would have. When a cell divides, the chromosomes containing DNA are split in half. Half of the DNA from the original cell is carried by each of the resulting cells.

What is the other name of third generation sequencing?
next-next generation sequencing
What are the different forms of a gene that decide a characteristic known as?
Each allele has two forms which are known as alleles. Alleles play an important role as to which characteristics either from mother or father will be passed along to the next generation. The way in which alleles are expressed is the study of genetics.
What is the scientific explanatition for sex in humans?
Reproduction, passing your DNA on to the next generation.
What Evolutionary perspective put forth by some biologists maintains which position?
genes that produce behaviors and traits that lead to survival are passed on to the next generation
Who proposed that acquired traits could be passed on to offspring?
This is a theory that states that some characteristics of an individual are acquired as opposed to inherited. For example, some frogs have mutations because of pollutants in their environment, whereas a person who has blue eyes probably has them because they inherited them from their parents.
What is the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the next?
"inheritance"
How do the acquired color during lifetime gets transferred to next generation?
green
Which substance is responsible for transfer of characteristics from one generation to another?
The genes found in DNA transfer characteristics from one generation to the next.
What are the characteristics of heredity?
The characteristics of heredity are characteristics, otherwise known as traits. Heredity is the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.
What are the physical characteristics of an organism that are passed on from one generation to the next?
traits
What are the physical characteristics of an organism that are passed from one generation to the next?
traits
A heritable change in the characteristics within a population from one generation to the next?
Evolution.
What heredity means?
The transmission from one generation to the next of genetic factors that determine individual characteristics:
What characteristics that are passed from parent to their children?
Characteristics that are passed on through family generation to generation are known as hereditary or inherited characteristics
A change on the characteristics of a population from one generation to the next the gradual development of organisms from other organisms since the beginnings of life?
evolution
The study of heredity or how the characteristics of living thingds are transmitted form one generation to the next?
Genetics is the study of hereditary patterns in living things. It is the study of the genetic features of organisms and of inherited characteristics.
What contribution to society did Gregor Mendel have?
Experiments with pea plants demonstrated how physical characteristics are passed on from one generation to the next in what we now refer to as genetics
