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.
What else can I help you with?
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 genetic material is in both viruses and bacteria?
Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
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 contains the genetic material?
DNA
Do eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material?
Yes, eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material.

Do archaea possess DNA in their genetic material?
Yes, archaea possess DNA in their genetic material.
Do archaebacteria possess DNA in their genetic material?
Yes, archaebacteria possess DNA in their genetic material.
Do prokaryotes have linear DNA in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotes do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They typically have circular DNA molecules.
Do prokaryotic cells have linear DNA in their genetic material?
No, prokaryotic cells do not have linear DNA in their genetic material. They have circular DNA.
Do eukaryotes possess circular DNA in their genetic material?
No, eukaryotes do not possess circular DNA in their genetic material.

The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was the unified theme.
What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
The bacterium's genetic material is called DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA contains the instructions for building and functioning of the organism.
What is your hereditary material?
DNA is your genetic material.
