How much genetic material does the egg cell contribute to the offspring?

Exactly 23 chromosomes of genetic information comes from the mother (egg) and 23 chromosomes also comes from the father (sperm). The reason the baby may look more like a certain parent is because one parent usually has stronger genes.

Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?
sex cells
How is genetic material organize in eukaryotic cells?
The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is organized in chromosomes.The genetic material of a cell contains information needed for the cells' growth and other activities. When a cell divides into 2 new cells, each new cell receives a full set of genetic material. The genetic material in cells is contained in DNA molecules. Source: "Cells and Heredity" (Biology book)
What area in the animal cell houses genetic material?
The genetic material of an animal cell is located in the nucleus- this contains the chromosomal DNA of the cell
Which cell structure contains genetic material?
nucleus
How are genetic mutations passed from parent to offspring?
In the gametes.
Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?
sex cells
What is a function of chromosomes?
A chromosome is transferred from parent to offspring and its purpose is to transport genetic material to the cell of the offspring
Where is the genetic material in bacteria cell?
The genetic material in a bacteria cell is found in the cytoplasm.
Where is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
Where is the genetic material is a bacterial cell?
The genetic material is in the cytoplasm.
Where is genetic material found in cell?
Genetic material is found in the nucleus.
Where is the genetic and reproductive material found in the cell?
The genetic material of the cell is found in the nucleus. This material (DNA) can reproduce inside the cell by a process known as replication.
What type of reproduction helps increase the genetic material of a cell?
Sexual reproduction increases the genetic material of a cell.
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.
Which part of the cell body contains the cell's genetic material?
the cel l nucleus contains genetic material known asDNA
Do the human sperm and egg cell each normally carry one third of the genetic information of the potential offspring?
No - they carry half of the genetic information. The new offspring will have half their genetic information from each parent. Therefore sperm and egg cells carry half the amount of genetic material found in normal cells.
In what cell is the nucleus?
The genetic material of the cell (DNA)
