  • Which part of a cell carries the information that is passed from one generation to the next?

    Subsequent research confirmed the Watson and Crick model of DNA replication and showed that DNA carries the genetic information for reproduction of the entire cell. All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus.

    Which part of the cell that carries the genetic information?

    We now know that the DNA carries the hereditary information of the cell (Figure 4-2). In contrast, the protein components of chromosomes function largely to package and control the enormously long DNA molecules so that they fit inside cells and can easily be accessed by them.

    How is the information from the DNA passed on from cell to another?

    Cell division is the mechanism by which DNA is passed from one generation of cells to the next and ultimately, from parent organisms to their offspring. Although eukaryotes and prokaryotes both engage in cell division, they do so in different ways.

    Which organelle transmits the genetic material from one generation to another generation?

    The correct answer is a: DNA. Explanation: The transfer of genetic information from one generation to the other is accomplished by DNA.
