Genes are what define every living organism. All life has some sort of RNA sequence or DNA sequence that expresses genes. A gene is a sequence within a DNA strand that after transcription and translation make a protein. In DNA are four nitrogeenous bases ( A, T, C and G) and in RNA are four (A, U, C and G). A sequence of hundreds or even thousands bases can equate to a gene.

What role do DNA and chromosomes play in heredity?
according to the chromosome theory of inheritance,genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes.
What structures carry genes to the offspring?
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
What is carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring. A gene is a section of DNA which carries coding for particular protein.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
What are factor that are passed from parent to offspring?
genes (on chromosomes)
What role do DNA and chromosomes play in heredity?
according to the chromosome theory of inheritance,genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes.
What are genes carried from parents to offspring on structures called?
chromosomes
Is it true that genes are carried on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry DNA which passes on the traits of the parents to the offspring.
What structures carry genes to the offspring?
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
What carries genes from parents to offspring?
The chromosomes are the ones that carry genes from parents to offspring. This is done through meiosis where sex cells are produced.
What kind of offspring are produced from sexual reproduction?
Offspring that are genetically different from its parents. Each parents contributes half the number of chromosomes, therefore the offspring has genes from its mom and from its dad.
The chromosomal theory of inheritance states that genes are carried from parents to their offspring by gravity?
False they aren't carried by gravity
What does the nucleus of the sperm cell do?
It carries the chromosomes, which carry the genes, that when combined with the genes carried in the egg, along with environmental factors, determine the phenotype of the offspring.
What is carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring. A gene is a section of DNA which carries coding for particular protein.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
How does DNA help with the transfer of genetic material from parents to offspring?
Yes, it does. You get 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 from your father. These chromosomes contain DNA, which is the code for making genes. Since you get DNA from your parents, you also get genes from them.
What are the genes carries on the x and y chromosomes called?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
