Answer 1

Inheritance is the process by which genetic information is passed on from parent to child. This is why members of the same family tend to have similar characteristics.

DNA and chromosomes form the basis of heredity

A chromosome contains a single, long dna molecule.

dna winds around protein spools, and the spooled unit then coils, loops, and supercoils, forming a chromosome.

A large proportion of eukaryotic dna is present in multiple copies.

Most of the multiple-copy dna has no known function.
