How is genetic information passed down from one generation to the next in plants?

Genetic information in plants is passed on from one generation to the next just like in any other living organisms. This is through genes. Genes are parts of the chromosomes whose greater part is the DNA. Through the process of meiosis (which is cell division) the number of chromosomes in a cell is halved. this leads to gametegenesis which is the formation of gametes. each resulting cell with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell carries all the genes.

Where do plants store their genetic information?
Genetic information is contained in the chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of the plant cell
What did Barbara McClintock found out about genetics?
During the 1940s and 1950s, McClintock discovered transposition and used it to show how genes are responsible for turning physical characteristics on or off. She developed theories to explain the repression or expression of genetic information from one generation of maize plants to the next. Hope this helps. Sources: Wikipedia
Does genetic engineering harm existing plants?
hell yea
Where in the cell is genetic information stored?
Encoded by the DNA comprising the Genes which sit on the Chromosomes in the cells Nucleus. The genetic information in the cell is stored in the nucleus. the nucleus controls the cell and is like a little dot.
Can the genetic material for both plants and animals is DNA?
All living organisms have DNA. They differ subtly, but are about 99% similar.
What do seeds do?
seed contain the mixed/ hybrid genetic information of one generation of plants and provide the mechanism for the transfer of this information to the next
Where do plants store their genetic information?

What can young plants inherit from parent plants?
The young plants inherit genetic information from parent plants.
What is the definition of learned or inherited behaviors?

Mendel used pea plants to investigate?
Mendel observed the characteristics of pea plants which were passed to new generations of pea plants from the parent plants to reveal the nature of genetic inheritance.
Which organelle in a plant or animal cell contains genetic information?
In the DNA on chromosomes, found in the nucleus (of Eukaryotic cells).
True or false Gregor Mendel concluded that the tall plants in the P generation passed the factor for tallness to the F1 generation?
Yes, that is what he concluded (statistics can show that he fudged his data, though)
Where do plants get their genetic information from?
They get it from the same place that animals like us do, the genes in their chromosomes found in the DNA.
What are the characteristics that are passed on from their parent to their young in an animal or a plant?
These are called genetic traits. They are also the genes. Both plants and animals have these traits or genes.
