QUESTION:

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INFORMATION The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100150 words), explain how chromosome behavior during sexual reproduction in animals ensures perpetuation of parental traits in offspring and, at the same time, genetic variation among offspring.

ANSWER:


Chromosomal behavior during sexual reproduction in animals ensures perpetuation of parental traits in offspring and, at the same time, genetic variation among offspring. Through genetic information from both parents, organisms are able to receive a particular combination of chromosomes that are then passed to their offspring. Chromosomes contain DNA, which contain genetic information that impacts the physical traits, bodily functions, and behaviors of a given organism.
