Question

Two hamsters live in a cage in Tom's science classroom. One is a male and the other is a female. Tom has recently discovered that the female is going to have babies. Which types of cell(s) store the genetic information that is passed on to the baby hamsters?

Answer 1

The sperm and egg cells store the genetic information that is passed on to the baby hamsters through fertilization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fertilization is the process by which the genetic information is passed on to the offspring. In the case of the hamsters, the male hamster's sperm and the female hamster's egg (also known as ovum) combine during fertilization. Both the sperm and the egg are types of cells that store the genetic information. The sperm carries the genetic material of the male hamster, while the egg carries the genetic material of the female hamster. When they combine, the genetic information from both parents is passed on to the baby hamsters.

Answer 2

The DNA molecules will store the genetic information. These are located in the nulceus of the animal cell, which is a eukaryote cell
