DNA is a mixture of 4 nitrogenous base pairs A-T and C-G held together by a polypeptide backbone. The human DNA sequence is millions of base pairs long. This sequence of base pairs has coding, and non-coding regions (regions which are like recipes for the bodies materials). These coding sections are called genes. The human genome contains 32000 genes. These genes are then copied into a strand (mRNA) which is then translated into a chain of amino acids (each three base pairs is an amino acid eg AAG = asparagine).
DNA is contained in chromosmes, which half and rearrange, then meet up with the other parents rearranged chromosomes to give a genetically varied offspring with a pair of chromosomes.

Is DNA found in bacteria?
Yes DNA or more specifically genetic material is one of the fundamental requirements for something to be classified as alive, which bacteria are. Bacteria do not conventionally have a nucleus so their genetic material is stored in plasmids, rings of DNA.
What is the genetic material that contains characteristics of living organisms?
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
What unifying theme brought the work of Mendel and Darwin together in the in the big picture of biology?
The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was the unified theme.
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The genetic material is made of DNA.
Where genetic material is found?
In the DNA

What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
the genetic material are called DNA
How do the complementary base pairing requirements ensure DNA's ability to act as the genetic material?
The DNA acts as the genetic material because it acts as a code. The requirements for the complimentary base pairings ensures information doesn't accidentally change during the incredible number of cell divisions that happen each day.
What is your hereditary material?
DNA is your genetic material.
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The genetic material is made of DNA.
What is genetic material package in?
An organism's genetic material is packaged in its chromosomes. The genetic material can be in the form of either DNA or RNA.
What is a DNA virus?
A DNA virus has only DNA as its genetic material.
Where genetic material is found?
In the DNA
Genetic material of the Cell?
Dna.
What contains the genetic material?
DNA
