the cell is the basic unit of life and cellular architecture contains large complexes of different classes of macromolecules with themselves or each other. most of such complexes are protein or lipid protein complexes.
however the component that really determines what goes where and what complexes with what....basically the blue print is the DNA.
in DNA there are four hetero-cyclic bases: adenine-a, guanine-g, thymine-t and cytosine-c.
these four bases in various sequences and combination, like a Morse Code, encode all the data required for the life processes in our body.
A definite sequence of ATGC gives rise to a GENE, which encodes the data required for protein molecule.
DNA is transcribed in to RNA and RNA is translated to protein by ribosomes.
DNA is packaged in to the cellular nucleus and into Chromosomes which are distributed when a male and female mates by a process called crossing over.
so basically DNA is responsible for all the hereditary characteristics and information in an individual
What else can I help you with?
Can a non living thing exhibit heredity?
No, heredity is the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring, and it requires the presence of genes. Non-living things do not have genes or the ability to reproduce, so they cannot exhibit heredity.
What is one of any living thing?
Everything inside you is a living thing :)
What is a scientist who studies heredity called?
A scientist who studies heredity is called a geneticist. Geneticists study genetics in general, which includes heredity.A scientist that studies heredity is called a geneticist. They study general genetics. Heredity is the genetic transfer of characteristics from generation to another.
What is the chemical compound involved in heredity in living organisms?
This compound is DNA - deoxoribonucleic acid.
Is heredity related to chemistry?
Yes. Genes determine heredity. Genes are a combination (chemical combination) of amino acids. Study of such thing is usually referred to as biochemistry.
What is one non living thing with heredity?
If it is non living it has no heredity. To have heredity it has to pass it's characteristics on to another. It is an object. For instance, a spoon can not make another spoon.
Can a non living thing exhibit heredity?
No, heredity is the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring, and it requires the presence of genes. Non-living things do not have genes or the ability to reproduce, so they cannot exhibit heredity.
Is there heredity in bees?
Every living organism has (some kind of) heredity.
What is the study of heredity called?
The study of heredity is called cells
Do living things exhibit heredity?
yes they do
How many lives does a living thing have?
When a living thing dies, it dies. Thus, every living thing has one life.
What is one of any living thing?
Everything inside you is a living thing :)
Is diabetes a sex-linked trait?
no its a heredity thing
How do living and non-living thing interact with each other?
A living thing and a non living thing interact with one another simply by the non living thing is llike a bacteria and it gets into the living things bloodstream and that's how they interact.
What living thing lay an egg each one time?
Type your answer here... which living thing lays one egg at a time?
What are the characteristics of heredity?
The characteristics of heredity are characteristics, otherwise known as traits. Heredity is the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.
What is a scientist who studies heredity called?
A scientist who studies heredity is called a geneticist. Geneticists study genetics in general, which includes heredity.A scientist that studies heredity is called a geneticist. They study general genetics. Heredity is the genetic transfer of characteristics from generation to another.
