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

In: Genetic Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
