Best Answer

Living things are able to replicated themself by reproduction or any other means. The inheritance from one generation to next generation (parent to child) is carried by the so called molecules known as DNA or collectively genes and genomes. Genes encode for character in every species, this means they can express proteins and RNA needed for the life processes.
