The hereditary instructions in DNA specify the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins which are the building blocks of all living things. DNA acts as an instruction manual to guide the production of proteins which are essential for the functioning of cells tissues and organs. DNA is structured in the form of a double helix with four bases - adenine thymine guanine and cytosine - that are arranged in a specific order. These four bases form base pairs which contain the instructions for the production of proteins. The sequence of these base pairs makes up genes which are the instructions for the production of a specific protein. Genes are arranged in chromosomes which are the packages of genetic material that are passed down from parents to children.

Is DNA a hereditary?
Is DNA hereditary?? Um...Yes. Yes it is.
All organisms need instructions to specify their traits. The instructions or code that is responsible for all the inherited traits of an organism?

A gene can best be described as?
A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.
What contains hereditary information?
Your DNA contains all the information of your genes which determine your hereditary.
A mutation is a change in a?
gene sequence
Is DNA a hereditary?
Is DNA hereditary?? Um...Yes. Yes it is.
Largest cell organelle?
Usually the nucleus which directs cell activities, contains instructions for cell functions. These instructions are found on hereditary material called DNA.
Why did biologists originally think protein was hereditary material?
Proteins are constructed in cells according to the instructions coded into DNA. Proteins are also much easier to see than the coding of DNA molecules, so there was a time where differences between proteins were detectable and differences in DNA were not detectable. As such, the logical hypothesis is that proteins are inherited and duplicated without any other source of instructions. In fact, it is DNA that is hereditary, and the variations in proteins that were observed to be hereditary previously are now understood to be artefacts from the use of the same DNA instructions.
How is dna hereditary material?
DNA are the "instructions" for cells which contain all the genetic material. When a cell divides, the DNA inside its nucleus replicates and forms the same DNA strands in the two new cells. Therefore, when cells divide by meiosis to form sex cells, they contain the same codes of DNA as the cell they divided from, giving them hereditary characteristics.
The cells hereditary material?
DNA
What is a DNA code for one hereditary trait is called?
The DNA code for one hereditary trait is called a gene.
