DNA. We have heard that we are a product of our DNA. But where is it? How do we "get" our DNA? It is passed to us, from our pare

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.

What are genes?<br>What are inherited traits?<br>What are acquired traits?
Umnica [9.8K]
Genes are a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to the offspring and is held determine some characteristics of the offspring. Some genes include: the color of the eyes (whether you have your mother's or father's eyes) the hair color, and skin color.

Inherited traits means you received something from your parents, grandparents or other family members. 

Acquired traits means a characteristic or trait that produces a phenotype that is a result of an environmental influence.Acquired traits are not coded for in the DNA of an individual and therefore cannot passed down to offspring during reproduction.    <span />

Cas9 cleaves both strands of the target DNA. Which of the following could occur when cells will try to repair the damage after c
Aloiza [94]

The correct answers are: the insertion of a DNA sequence into the targeted gene and deletions of the targeted gene

Cas9 is an enzyme endonuclease (which means it cuts nucleotides) that is part of the CRISPR-Cas9 complex- genome editing tool that can remove, add or alter sections of the DNA sequence.

Cas9 recognize the sequence that is going to be cut thanks to guide RNA- pre-designed RNA sequence complementary to sequence of interest. DNA repair machinery will try to fix the “damage” but it can add (insert) or delete some nucleotides.
