What is it called when there's a change in the gene?
The change of genetic information within an organism is known as a genetic mutation. It may also be refereed to as a change in allele frequencies when populations are examined.
Why are chromosomes called hereditary vehicles?
the chromosomes carry the genes and similarities of parents to the off springs.thus,called heriditary vehicles
The heritable genetic information of an organism is stored in the molecule called?
dna
What is the genetic makeup of an individual?
Genetic make up of an organism is called its genotype
What is inserting specific genetic material into the genetic material of another organism called?
Gene transfer, this type of process is mostly covered in the topic of genetic engineering
Stores and transmits genetic information?
the information transfer from generation to generation is through DNA molecules.the genetic information present in the DNA.and the DNA is present in the gene cells.these transfer the information from cell to cell
Why are genes called hereditary unit?
genes are the carriers of heredity as they carry the genetic information generation after generation without much changes in it.
The process of what produces a new copy of an organism's genetic information?
The process that makes a new copy of an organism's genetic information and then passes it on to new cells is called mitosis.
What is changing the DNA of an organism called?
Genetic Splicing.
What is the genetic makeup of an organism called?
The genotype.
An organism's genetic makeup is called what?
genotype
What genetic material are called mutations?
Sudden genetic change in the DNA of an organism called mutations.
How does an organism pass on the chemical information for making protein to the next generation?
EUKARYOTES The chemical information for making proteins is carried in the DNA, which is found on the chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Whan a eukaryotic organism undergoes asexual or sexual reproduction, the DNA is replicated, and the DNA of the parent organism(s) is passed on to its/their offspring (the next generation). PROKARYOTES The single circular chromosome undergoes DNA replication, which creates two identical chromsomes. The new chromosome is passed to the next generation by a process called binary fission.

The actual gene makeup of an organism is its what?
The overall genetic makeup is called its genotype.
The heritable genetic information of an organism is stored in the molecule called?
dna
