The genetic material in cells that is transferred from parent to offspring during reproduction is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains the instructions necessary for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. It is organized into structures called chromosomes, which are inherited from the parents. In sexual reproduction, offspring receive half of their genetic material from each parent, while in asexual reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical to the single parent organism.
