Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All organisms inherit the genetic information specifying their structure and function from their parents. Likewise, all cells arise from preexisting cells, so the genetic material must be replicated and passed from parent to progeny cell at each cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each Organism’s Traits Are Inherited from a Parent through Transmission of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Later, as biochemical analysis became possible, chromosomes were found to consist of both DNA and protein. We now know that the DNA carries the hereditary information of the cell (Figure 4-2).
