A tiger cub has a pattern of stripes on its fur that is similar to that of its parents. Where are the instructions stored that provide information for a tiger’s fur pattern?

A  branch of science which deals with a living being is called biology.

The correct answer is DNA.

The DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. it contains all the information about the parents.

The transfer of character from one generation to another is called inheritance.

In this case which is mentioned in the question, the stripes character is a transfer from the parent to the offspring in the form of a gamete cell. Gamete has all the information of the parent which shows the character after maturing.

Hence, the correct answer is DNA stored in the gamete.

On genes within chromosomes

Explanation:

-The fur pattern is a genetic trait whose instruction is carried in the DNA's base sequence.

-These instructions are organized into genes and each gene is only responsble for the making of a functional product.

-Hence, the instructions are stored on genes within chromosomes.
