In the human body almost all cells carry a full complement of hereditary material. The only exception to this is the cancer cell.

What chromosomes store the hereditary material called?

Well, darling, the hereditary material is stored in the chromosomes, specifically in the form of genes. These genes are made up of DNA, which is tightly packed into those X and Y chromosomes. So, to put it simply, it's those chromosomes that hold the keys to your genetic inheritance.


Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?

Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.

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.


Chromosomes are made of this material?

Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. The chromosomes help to carry the genetic information throughout the body. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
