Question

What comprises all of the inherited genetic factors that provide the framework for an organism’s physical form?

Answer 1

Answer:

The genome

Explanation:

A genome comprises all the genetic factors that provide the framework for an organism's physical form. A genome is inherited.  In the case of superior beings as in animals, mainly mammals, parents provide a half of the genome as many of them are diploid ; it means we have a half of genome provide for our fathers, and the other half by our mothers.  This is called sexual reproduction.

In simple organisms, single cell organisms as bacteria and archea, they duplicate their genomes, and their cells use to divide themselves in two (although it's not always like that).  This is called asexual reproduction.

In plants we can find both ways of reproduction
