Answer:

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material an organism inherited from his or her parents. The offspring gets half the genetic material from and another half from the father.

The parents contributed to the DNA of the child through gametes (egg of the mother and sperm of the father).

Each gamete contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. For example, in humans, each gamete consists of 23 chromosomes (half genetic material).

Egg and sperm fuse to form a zygote and to complete the set of genetic material. For example, the fusion of egg and sperm restores the chromosome number to 46.

The genes or protein-coding sequences of DNA of chromosomes code for traits of an individual. For example, hair color, skin color, height et cetera. It is the reason that we say we are the products of our DNA.
