Because your DNA structure is a mixture of that of your parents, and their parents etc... The DNA in your cells is inherited from previous generations of your family. It carries genes such as those that give you the colour of your eyes - and - unfortunately, also gives you conditions and diseases suffered by previosu generations.

Are genes the basic units of heredity?
DNA
What did mendel gregor discover realted to DNA?
Gregor Mendel did not discover DNA; instead, he is known as the "father of modern genetics" for his work on inheritance in pea plants, which laid the foundation for understanding the basic principles of heredity. The discovery of the structure of DNA is credited to James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
What parts of the DNA molecule that determine heredity?
Genes
What is the passing down of traits from parents to offspring?
The passing down of traits from parents to offspring is known as heredity. Traits are passed down through genetic material, such as DNA, which carries the instructions for specific characteristics from one generation to the next. This process is essential for maintaining genetic diversity and ensuring the survival of species.
Is heredity a hormone?
Heridity is not maintained by hormones.It is maintained by DNA.
What is the chemical of heredity?
DNA
Where is heredity stored?
in your DNA
Although DNA structure was determined in the 1950's the role of DNA in carrying heredity units has been well known for thousands of years?
False
What are the functions of the hereditary material?
Heredity is the passing on of characteristics from parents to offsrping. Blood group for example is passed from either the father or mother to the child. Everything you are physically is passed on from a combination of the heredity material from your parents. The heredity carrier for humans is DNA. RNA is the heredity carrier for many viruses.
Is DNA the heredity material?
Yes and no. Some of the heredity material comes from the parents.
What carries the unit of heredity?
DNA
How are traits passed from parents to their offspring?
Traits are passed by DNA.
What year was heredity found?
Heredity is part of your DNA and how it is structured. You have a combination of both of your parents DNA because you are copied. That is why you look like your parents

How does heredity relate to DNA?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the chemical which contains the information which determines heredity. Every inherited trait is the result of some particular DNA sequence. There are four types of DNA base chemicals, which can be connected in any sequence, and the specific sequence, known as a gene, will result in specific traits. Genetics has a language, written with only 4 letters.
What do bacteria cells have heredity wise?
They have DNA as heridity material.They have circular DNA.
How are characteristics transferred to the next generation?
DNA determines what characteristics the cell would have. When a cell divides, the chromosomes containing DNA are split in half. Half of the DNA from the original cell is carried by each of the resulting cells.
