Which part of the cell body contains the cell's genetic material?
the cel l nucleus contains genetic material known asDNA
Does every cell have genetic material?
No, the gametes or sex cells contain only half of the chromosomes of a body cell so the gene count would not be equal.
What is the different between genetic material and genetic information?
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic nitrogenous bases. It is a totality of both codons and anticodons. it is the source of genetic information. Genetic information refers to the code or specific information carried by a codon (nucleotide) which can be "transcribed" into a messenger RNA to build a specific protein, enzyme or hormone in the body.
Does the human heart and lungs contain cells that have the same genetic information but perform different functions?
Yes. Every cell in your body contains the exact same genetic information, regardless of where that cell is found.
Does the nucleus carry genetic information called DNA?
yes! the nucleus stores genetic information. every cell in the body contains the same genes,segments of DNA. each type of cell has certain genes turned on, while others are turned off. DNA and RNA acting as intermediary.........
Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?
sex cells
What genetic material can be extracted from your body tissues and used to create a profile to identify a victim or suspect?
Any cell from your body, which have the nucleus, will do for genetic material. So you can collect the blood, which have white blood cells, will do. Biopsy from any part gives you enough cells for the genetic material, you need for genetic testing.
Why is the genetic material for eye color in the cells of the big toe?
Genetic material is in DNA. DNA can be found in every cell in the body....including your toe!
Where is all genetic material that controls a person's traits located in their body?
In your cells' nucleus.
Why are mutation that occur body cells not pass on to its offspring?
This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.
Compare the number of chromosomes in an organism's body cells with the number in its reproductive cells?
The reproductive cells of an organism each contribute half of the required genetic material to create the offspring. This means that each reproductive cell has 1n, while the organism has 2n chromosomes.
Why do the body cells and sex cells divide differently?
Because body cells need to make genetically identical daughter cells and sex cells need to make genetically unique cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.
Why do the sex cells and the body cells divide differently?
Because body cells need to make genetically identical daughter cells and sex cells need to make genetically unique cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.
Is genetic material found in all cells?
The name of the genetic material found in every cell in your body is called DNA. This DNA is responsible for giving you your physical traits for example.
What is the difference between the genetic material in body cells and gametes?
Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
Why is it important that sex cells have half the number of of chromosomes as body cells?
This happens so the genetic material from both parents combines to make new set.
What part of your body transmits genetic language?
The genetic information is transmitted from one generation to another generation by the the reproductive cells formed in an organism . Remember that the reproductive cells are only formed at one stage in any of the living organisms. The genetic similarity is maintained by the genetic material DNA.
