Question

Explain the mechanism of inheritance used by sexually reproducing organisms to ensure the stability of DNA of the species. 

Hint:

Sexual reproduction ensures genetic diversity and stability of DNA through the combination of genetic material from both parents.

Answer 1

In sexually reproducing organisms, inheritance occurs through the passing of genetic material (DNA) from both parents. DNA from both the father and the mother combines during fertilization, resulting in offspring with a genetic makeup that is a combination of both parents. The process ensures the stability of DNA by maintaining the integrity of genes through generations, with mechanisms such as genetic recombination and mutation correction playing key roles in stabilizing the DNA.
