What else can I help you with?
Is a virus considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Virus is considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Are mutations in genetic material random?
Yes, mutations in genetic material are generally considered to be random events that can occur spontaneously or be caused by external factors like radiation or chemicals.
Is it possible to make a human k and s with just 1 person?
No, it is not possible for one person to create a human being, as reproduction requires genetic material from two individuals. Additionally, genetic material combines during sexual reproduction to produce offspring.
What are the possible causes of genetic variation?
Anaphase 1 - the crossing over of chromosomes, they swap genetic material determining what you genetically inherit
Are sperm considered living organisms?
Yes, sperm are considered living organisms because they have the ability to reproduce and carry genetic material.
Which characteristic do viruses share with living thing?
They contain genetic material. Although virus' contain genetic material, they can not reproduce without being inside of a host cell. Many scientists question if they can be considered living or not, as this is the only life function they are capable of performing.
How do viruses have genetic material but they are not alive?
Viruses are not considered alive because they cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade another cell or bacteria and implant their genetic material into that organism's genome in order to replicate.
Is it possible to change your DNA through genetic modification or other means"?
Yes, it is possible to change DNA through genetic modification techniques such as gene editing. This can involve altering specific genes or introducing new genetic material into an organism's DNA.
What process that produces more possible combinations of genetic material than would exist otherwise?
yes
What type of organisms have no genetic material at all?
Organisms that have no genetic material at all are typically classified as acellular entities, such as viruses. While viruses contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA), they lack the cellular structure and machinery necessary for independent life. However, in the context of strictly no genetic material, certain prions—misfolded proteins that can induce abnormal folding of normal proteins—are considered to have no genetic material. Prions are infectious agents but do not contain DNA or RNA.
What is the genetic material in the nucleus?
The genetic material is in the nucleus to protect it.
