DNA as hereditary material.

 

 

 

DNA is the hereditary material. It must: 

(3 points)

1. Replicate with high accuracy so that a copy may be passed to ech daughter cell. DNA must also be transmitted from one generation to the next through eggs and sperm.

2. Undergo mutations to provide genetic variability for evolutionary change.

3. Store information to control both the development and the metabolic activities of the cell and organism.
