Where do plants store their genetic information?
Genetic information is contained in the chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of the plant cell
Why are biotechnology companies interested in genetic information?
Biotechnology companies are interested in genetic information in order to use genectic modification to create modifications in DNA that result in new traits in an organism. For example, biotech companies have created crops that are resistant to herbicides like Glysophate, and ones that produce an insecticide within the plant itself. Pharmeceudical companies are interested in genetic information in order to use it to create new drugs. Since patents can be obtained for the modifications, the companies make profits from them and also have the protection that for a number of years, no other company can use the patented changes.
How is a glowing tobacco plant created by inserting a firefly gene into the DNA of a tobacco plant?
Through the process of Genetic Engineering
What organelle carries genetic material and is nicknamed the brain of the cell?
the genetic material of the cell is either DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic acid) or RNA (ribose nucleic acid). DNA is mainly found in the nucleus of a cell, as well as in the mitochondria. It is also seen in chloroplasts in Plant cells.
How is genetic information passed down from one generation to the next in plants?
Genetic information in plants is passed on from one generation to the next just like in any other living organisms. This is through genes. Genes are parts of the chromosomes whose greater part is the DNA. Through the process of meiosis (which is cell division) the number of chromosomes in a cell is halved. this leads to gametegenesis which is the formation of gametes. each resulting cell with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell carries all the genes.
The molecule within a seed which controls and directs reproduction is called?
The molecule within a seed that controls and directs reproduction is DNA. DNA carries the genetic information that determines the traits and characteristics of the plant that will grow from the seed. This genetic information is crucial for regulating the process of reproduction and directing the development of the plant.
The genetic material that carries information needed to make new cells or new organisms?
DNA is the genetic material that carries the information needed to make new organisms or new cells within organisms. The DNA in mitochondria is only from the individual's maternal lineage, versus the individual's unique DNA found in other cells.
Is DNA found in plant cells or animal cells?
DNA is found in both plant cells and animal cells. It is a fundamental molecule that carries genetic information and is contained within the nucleus of a cell in a structure called the chromosome.
Where do plants store their genetic information?
Genetic information is contained in the chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of the plant cell
Do plant and animals cells have DNA?
Yes they do, DNA is the blue print for life.
What is pineapples DNA?
The DNA of pineapples contains genetic information that determines characteristics such as growth, development, and fruit production. It is organized into chromosomes and carries the instructions necessary for the pineapple plant to function and reproduce.
What organelle?
An organelle carries out a specific function within a cell.
What is nucleus of plant?
the center where the all the genetic information is. The nucleus is in every cell in the plant
What molecule is used to store genetic information?
DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses. So both DNA & RNA are genetic material. DNA stores genetic information but other molecule which also serve as genetic material is RNA which is found generally in plant viruses.
What do chromosomes do in a plant and animal cell?
Chromosomes in plant and animal cells contain genetic material, DNA, which carries instructions for various cellular processes. During cell division, chromosomes help in ensuring accurate distribution of genetic information to daughter cells. They also play a role in gene expression and determining an organism's traits.
Which organelle in a plant or animal cell contains genetic information?
In the DNA on chromosomes, found in the nucleus (of Eukaryotic cells).
What does a nucleus in a plant cell do?
The nucleus in a plant cell stores the genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression. It is responsible for coordinating cell division, growth, and metabolism within the plant cell.
