Yes, but only retroviruses capable of incorporating into the DNA of chromosomes and the virus infected reproductive cells.
It is now thought by some evolutionary biologists that such viruses may facilitate inter-species genetic transfers that triggered some of the significant evolutionary changes.

How many copies of each discrete unit or trait does an organism inherit?
An organism inherits two copies of each discrete unit or trait, one from each parent. This concept is known as Mendelian inheritance, where one allele is inherited from each parent for a specific trait.
An organism that is produced by only one parent organism is called?
An organism that is produced by only one parent organism is called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, offspring are genetically identical to the parent organism.
When an asexual organism reproduces its offspring is a(n) copy of itself.?
When an asexual organism reproduces, its offspring is a genetic clone of the parent, meaning it is an exact copy of itself. This process typically occurs through mechanisms such as binary fission, budding, or fragmentation, where no genetic material from another organism is involved. As a result, the offspring inherit the same traits and characteristics as the parent, leading to minimal genetic diversity within the population.
Why does each parent organism in the f1 generation have four alleles listed in figure 6.17?
Each parent organism in the F1 generation has four alleles listed because they inherit two alleles from each of their two parents. This results in a total of four alleles, with each pair coming from the genetic contributions of the respective parents.
The offspring of a sexually-reproducing organism receives?
half of its genetic material from each parent, resulting in a unique combination of genes. This genetic variability allows for the potential for offspring to inherit a mix of traits and characteristics from both parents.
Characteristic which an organism inheritsis is called a what?
This is called Traits. Traits are characteristics you inherit from your parent.
Each organism must inherit a single copy of every gene from its?
parents Edited answer: Male and female parent
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 the definition of offspring?
The progeny or descendants of a person, animal, or plant considered as a group.
Why does each parent organism in the F1 generation have four alleles?
They don't. Each parent should only have two.. One from each of their parents.
What can young plants inherit from parent plants?
The young plants inherit genetic information from parent plants.
How many copies of each discrete unit or trait does an organism inherit?
An organism inherits two copies of each discrete unit or trait, one from each parent. This concept is known as Mendelian inheritance, where one allele is inherited from each parent for a specific trait.
How an organism creates new organism that are similar to itself?
Response
How do offspring inherit traits in asexual reproduction?
During asexual reproduction, a single parent passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring. The individual reproduced is the parent cell's clone, an organism that is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to its parent. Hope that helps!
Why inherit function is not called?
Inherit is not a function. It is a class derivation where some of the methods and attributes of the new class inherit from a parent class.
What type of asexual reproduction involves an organism starting to grow out of the parent organism and that may or may not remain attached to the parent organism?
Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction that involves an organism starting to grow out of the parent organism that may or may not remain attached to the parent organism.
How do organism inherit traits from their parents?
Hereditary genes
