What else can I help you with?
What is it called when some organisms get all of their genetic material from just one parent organism?
This is called asexual reproduction, where offspring inherit all of their genetic material from a single parent. There is no genetic contribution from a second parent organism in this type of reproduction.
What is another name for genetic material?
Another name for genetic material is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms.
Where in the nucleus is the genetic material found?
Genetic material, composed of DNA that is packaged into string-like structures called chromatin, makes up a region called the nucleolus, which is inside the nucleus of a cell.In eukaryotes, the genetic material is found within the nucleus of the cell in a form of chromatins. In prokaryotes, the genetic material is suspended in a region known as nucleoid and also contains circular DNA called plasmids.
What are the two parts does every virus have?
Every virus has two main parts: a protein coat called capsid that surrounds and protects the genetic material, and the genetic material itself which can be DNA or RNA. The genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to replicate and infect host cells.
Spontaneous changes in genetic material are called?
Spontaneous changes in genetic material are called mutations. These changes can occur naturally during DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors such as radiation or chemicals. Mutations can affect an organism's traits and may contribute to genetic diversity in a population.
What is the nucleolus and genetic material called?
The nucleolus and genetic material form the nucleus.
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
What is the rearranging of genetic instructions called?
The rearranging of genetic instructions is called genetic recombination. This process occurs during meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
What is the special molecule that contains genetic material?
The special molecule that contains genetic material is called a chromosome.
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
What genetic material are called mutations?
Sudden genetic change in the DNA of an organism called mutations.
The intentional alteration or transfer of genetic material is called?
That's genetic engineering.
A threadlike genetic material called chromatin is located within the?
In the inter-phase nucleus of the cell is located a threadlike genetic material called chromatin.
What is Any permanent change in the genetic material is called a?
it is called a mutations
Genetic material that directs the cell is called?
DNA.
All the genetic material in a Cell?
All the genetic material in a cell is contained within the nucleus and organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplasts. This material is made up of DNA, which carries the instructions needed for the cell to function and reproduce. The genetic material is organized into structures called chromosomes.
What is genetic material in daughter cells called?
The genetic material in daughter cells is called chromosomes. These structures contain the genetic information passed down from the parent cell to the daughter cells during cell division.
