Why is nucleic acid so important to living organisms?
Nucleic acid is important to living organisms because they are large molecules which hold tons of details and genetic information. They make us who we are.
The transmission of genetic information from parents to offspring is called?
The transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring is called genetics or genetic transmission. Such genetic information includes height, eye and hair color.
What does a culture medium provide to a living cell?
The medium will supply all the nutrients that the cell will need to grow well.
A DNA molecule is often called a what because it twists like the threads of a screw?
DNA is a molecule responsible for the genetic instructions, development and functioning of living organisms. The DNA molecules that contain millions of nucleotides and is very large, called DNA polymer.
Engineering is the science dealing with Altering the genetic materials in living organisms?
Genetic Engineering.
What kinds of molecules are found in all living things?
molecules containing long chains of carbon atoms are found on living things.
What kind of molecules composes most living drganisms?
organic molecules (those containing carbon) although animals are mostly water
Which organic molecules contain genetic information in the form if DNA or RNA?
All living things have DNA or rna
Genetic material in living organism is composed of organic molecules called?
First of all you're question is flawed. All living things contain genetic information, and therefore seeing as the cell is the smallest unit of life they must all contain genetic information. Prokaryotic cells have naked DNA, meaning it is not encapsulated in a nucleus while eukaryotic cells contain the DNA in a nucleus.
What is alternating the chemical code in living things called?
Genetic Engineering
What is changing the gene of bacteria or other living things called?
I believe it is called genetic engineering.
Do both cells and viruses have genetic material?
Viruses do not contain DNA or RNA . . . they 'steal' those molecules from their host living cell.
what molecules in living cells are so large that they are know as?
These are called macromolecules.
Living organisms are composed of a special category of molecules called?
Organic
Why is nucleic acid so important to living organisms?
Nucleic acid is important to living organisms because they are large molecules which hold tons of details and genetic information. They make us who we are.
What is the part with information that determines a living thing's traits?
The cell part with information that determines a living thing's traits is the chromosome. A chromosome is a thread-like structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information.
What is a cell part with information the determined a living things traits?
The cell part with information that determines a living thing's traits is the chromosome. A chromosome is a thread-like structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information.
