Are inherited differences called biological mutations?
Inherited differences are generally not referred to as biological mutations. Mutations are spontaneous changes in DNA that may result in differences in genetic information. Inherited differences, on the other hand, are variations in genetic information that are passed down from parents to offspring.
What part of a cell contains information about a single inherited trait?
The nucleus of a cell contains the genetic information in the form of DNA. This DNA carries information about inherited traits encoded in genes, which are passed down from parents to offspring.
What word means tiny structures within cells that carry information about inherited characteristics?
chromosomes
Can allelic genes be inherited as linked genes?
Yes, allelic genes can be inherited as linked genes if they are located close to each other on the same chromosome. Linked genes tend to be inherited together unless recombination occurs during meiosis, which can result in the separation of linked alleles.
What is an inherited trait for a tomato plant?
An inherited trait for a tomato plant could be its fruit size, color, or resistance to a specific disease. These traits are passed down from parent plants to their offspring through their genetic information.
How you can use information about inherited traits to make health decisions?
describe how you can use information about inherited traits to make health decisions
Are hormones the carrier of inherited information?
No, DNA is
Where do you go to find out about a property you inherited if you have no information?
If the property was inherited, basic information should be filed with the probate court. Your local courthouse should have this available or the clerks should be able to tell you where to find it.

The material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics?
Ribonucleic acid
The information for any inherited trait is contained in sections of DNA are?
genes
What part of a cell contains information about a single inherited trait?
The nucleus of a cell contains the genetic information in the form of DNA. This DNA carries information about inherited traits encoded in genes, which are passed down from parents to offspring.
What does it mean to say that a gene is linked to a chromosome?
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
What are the two main sources of information?
inherited - from you parents or grandparents and so on. enviromental - from your environment
Where in an embryo are the instuctions located for how to build organs?
The instructions for building organs in an embryo are located in its genetic material, specifically within the DNA of the cells. These instructions are contained within genes, which provide the information needed for the development and differentiation of cells into specific tissues and organs. This genetic information is inherited from the parents and guides the embryo's development from a single cell to a complex organism.
What is needed to assess the risk of inherited diseases?
To accurately assess the risk of inherited diseases, information on three generations, including health status and/or cause of death, usually is needed.
Do mitochondria lack genetic information?
Mitochondria have mitochondrial DNA inherited through the cytoplasm of the mother.
