The characteristics of a living thing are determined by its DNA.
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
Yes. EVery living creature has DNA, even germs.
Genetic information, such as DNA, is a characteristic that can be passed from one living thing to its young. This information determines the traits and characteristics of the offspring, resulting in inherited traits being passed down from parent to offspring.
DNA or sometimes RNA
All life (living organisms) on the planet Earth contain DNA. It is in fact one of the defining characteristics of life.
The DNA, located in the cell's nucleus, determines the characteristics of a living thing through the expression of genes. Genes provide the instructions for producing proteins that drive various cellular functions, ultimately influencing the organism's traits and behaviors.
every living thing had DNA if it didnt have DNA it wouldn't be alive or be what it looks like
Every living thing has DNA.
Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Living cells also contain DNA and RNA. These are the only thing shared by living cells and viruses.
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
Living. Its like DNA and thats living, right?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that determines the characteristics of living things. It contains genetic information that codes for proteins and regulates the activities of cells, ultimately influencing an organism's traits and functions. DNA is present in the cells of all living organisms.
No, DNA and genes are not the same thing. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information, while genes are specific segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics.
They would be bacteria
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. DNA is the organic molecule found in the nucleus of living cells. It is responsible for passing on characteristics from one generation of a speicies to the next.
a living thing must be able to replicate its DNA using its own cellular components. Viruses need a host's machinery to replicate its DNA/RNA so it is not living. Prions and plasmids are also incabable of this and are also unliving. ------ There are several characteristics that are typical for a living being; some things considered "non-living" (like viruses, or a fire) have some of those characteristics, but not all of them. Some of these characteristics are that a living being can reproduce (so can a virus, or a fire!); that it has an organized structure; that it has a metabolism (it converts substances into other substances); some living beings can move (but some, like plants and sponges, usually don't).
