What else can I help you with?
Which part of the cell body contains the cell's genetic material?
the cel l nucleus contains genetic material known asDNA
Does every cell have genetic material?
No, the gametes or sex cells contain only half of the chromosomes of a body cell so the gene count would not be equal.
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.
Does the human heart and lungs contain cells that have the same genetic information but perform different functions?
Yes. Every cell in your body contains the exact same genetic information, regardless of where that cell is found.
Does the nucleus carry genetic information called DNA?
yes! the nucleus stores genetic information. every cell in the body contains the same genes,segments of DNA. each type of cell has certain genes turned on, while others are turned off. DNA and RNA acting as intermediary.........
Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?
reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.
What genetic material can be extracted from your body tissues and used to create a profile to identify a victim or suspect?
Any cell from your body, which have the nucleus, will do for genetic material. So you can collect the blood, which have white blood cells, will do. Biopsy from any part gives you enough cells for the genetic material, you need for genetic testing.
Why is the genetic material for eye color in the cells of the big toe?
Genetic material is in DNA. DNA can be found in every cell in the body....including your toe!
When sex cells combine to produce offspring each sex cell will contribute what?
Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.
Where is all genetic material that controls a person's traits located in their body?
In your cells' nucleus.
Why does every cell in the body must have genetic material inside of it for it to work?
Genetic material, such as DNA, is essential for cells to function properly because it contains the instructions for making proteins that carry out cellular processes. Without genetic material, cells would not be able to reproduce, maintain their structure, or carry out necessary functions to support life. Having genetic material ensures that cells can replicate and pass on genetic information to daughter cells.
Why are mutation that occur body cells not pass on to its offspring?
Mutations that occur in body cells typically affect only the individual and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the genetic material in reproductive cells (sperm and eggs). Only mutations in the germline cells (sperm and eggs) can be passed down to offspring.
Compare the number of chromosomes in an organism's body cells with the number in its reproductive cells?
The reproductive cells of an organism each contribute half of the required genetic material to create the offspring. This means that each reproductive cell has 1n, while the organism has 2n chromosomes.
Is genetic material found in all cells?
Yes, genetic material is found in all cells. It carries the instructions required for the growth, development, and functioning of organisms. In eukaryotic cells, genetic material is located in the cell nucleus.
What is the difference between the genetic material in body cells and gametes?
Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
Why do the body cells and sex cells divide differently?
Because body cells need to make genetically identical daughter cells and sex cells need to make genetically unique cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.
Why do the sex cells and the body cells divide differently?
Because body cells need to make genetically identical daughter cells and sex cells need to make genetically unique cells with half the genetic material of the parent cell.
