Chapter 9, Problem 2QSDC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The evidence that proves DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material in mice.
Introduction:
Genetic material is a component that determines the composition of characters in an organism. It is responsible for the carrying of characters from one generation to the next. It helps in the production of amino acids that serve as the building blocks for a protein.
