What is the chemical that controls an organisms inherited characteristics?
This chemical is DNA.
What information needed by a cell to direct its activities and to determine its characteristics is contained in molecules of?
DNA
Why DNA unifies life?
All life (living organisms) on the planet Earth contain DNA. It is in fact one of the defining characteristics of life.
What is the genetic material that contains characteristics of living organisms?
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
In all organisms the coded instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organism are directly determined by the arrangement of the?
bases in DNA in the nucleus
How can organisms have the same DNA but look and act differently?
Although organisms with the same physical characteristics have the same PHENOTYPE, they might have different GENOTYPE, or genetic makeup.
How are characteristics passed?
characteristics are like traits. traits are within the gene in a cell. And a gene is among the DNA strands in a chromosome. And a chromosome is in the nucleus. and the nucleus is in the cell. And cells are in organisms.
Are chromosomes responsible to inherit characters of an organism?
I'm going to answer the question 'Are chromosomes responsible FOR inheritING the characterISTICS of an organism?' Hope that's what you meant. Chromosomes aren't responsible as such, chromosomes are bundled up strands of DNA, and the DNA is what's responsible for.... well, it's not really the characteristics, DNA, genes, describe the limits of an organisms characteristics, its GENOTYPE. The genotype plus the organism's environment are responsible for its characteristics, that is its PHENOTYPE.
Why do DNA comparisons provide the most direct evidence of evolutionary relationships?
IT is believed that everyone has the same ancestor
What are the characteristics of the 1st organisms on Earth?
Well they were essentially just strings of DNA encased in a membrane. This meant that they had the ability to replicate, but not much else.
Does the size of an organisms genome relate to the organisms complexity?
There is not a direct relationship. The reason is, much of the DNA in organisms is non-coding, that is, does not contain genes. Non-coding DNA can be duplicated or lost (as can coding DNA), so in theory, a less complex organism can, through duplications of its non-coding DNA, generate a larger overall genome than a more complex organism.
Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?
When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.
