All living organisms have DNA. They differ subtly, but are about 99% similar.

What is the different between genetic material and genetic information?

DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic nitrogenous bases. It is a totality of both codons and anticodons. it is the source of genetic information. Genetic information refers to the code or specific information carried by a codon (nucleotide) which can be "transcribed" into a messenger RNA to build a specific protein, enzyme or hormone in the body.


What are features of genetic material?

This question is vague. DNA and RNA, nucleic acids, make up the genetic material of living organisms. The nucleotides, building blocks that make up nucleic acids are Cytosine, guanine, adenine,Cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine thymine, and uracil. See the link for more info.


What is the difference of artificial selection and genetic engineering?

Artificial selection is the process by which humans breed plants or animals for specific traits over generations, relying on natural reproductive methods to enhance desired characteristics. In contrast, genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an organism's DNA using biotechnological techniques to introduce, remove, or alter genes, allowing for precise modifications that may not occur through traditional breeding. While both methods aim to improve organisms for human use, artificial selection relies on existing genetic variation, whereas genetic engineering creates new genetic combinations.


What is copied before mitosis begins?

DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.

Do both plants and animals have the same kind of genetic material which is called DNA?

Yes, both plants and animals have DNA as their genetic material. DNA carries the genetic instructions that determine the traits and functions of living organisms. While there may be variations in the specific sequences and structures of DNA between plants and animals, the fundamental genetic material is the same.


Some types of organisms can increase genetic variation through reproduction they are ablr to combine the genetic material of two parents tather than copying the genetic material of a single parent?

both plants and animals


Is Chromatin located in both plants or animals?

Yes, chromatin is found in both animal and plant cells


Is it true or false that both animals and plants depend upon genetic code for reproduction?

Yes, it is true that both animals and plants depend on their genetic code for reproduction. Genetic code contains the instructions for inheritance and passing on traits to offspring. In plants, this information is stored in their DNA located in the nucleus of their cells. In animals, genetic code is also found in the DNA of their cells and is crucial for reproduction and passing on genetic information.


What typeof organisms can increase genetic variation through reproduction?

both plants and animals


Is a DNA a plant or animal cell or both?

DNA is found in both plant and animal cells. It is the genetic material that contains instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all organisms, including plants and animals.


Does a plant or an animal cell have a nucleus?

yes both animals and plants have a nucleus


What is the name if an organism that eats both plants and animals?

carnivore-eats the flesh of other animals herbivore-eats plant material omnivore- eats both animals and plants


Why do plants and animals need to reproduce?

Because we eat animals such as cows and pigs. If they dont reproduce, the population will decrease. And then their will be no more meat to eat and we might die. The same things with plants because if both plants and animals die then we will surely die also.


Animals and plants are both?

animals and plants are both species


Does the function of nucleic acids differ from plants to animals?

No, the function of nucleic acids is the same in both plants and animals. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, play a crucial role in storing and transmitting genetic information, regulating gene expression, and facilitating protein synthesis in both plants and animals.


What genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?

Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
