Heredity

History
This section has been translated automatically.

The entirety of the hereditary information of a cell that is necessary for development (ontogenesis) and for the expression of the specific characteristics of the living being. This information is contained in the base sequence of the DNA. Some viruses (retroviruses; e.g. HI virus) contain the genome in the form of RNA (see also microbiome).
