Question

DNA is genetic material in which of the following? a)all prokaryotes + all eukaryotes + all viruses b)some prokaryotes + all eukaryotes + all bacteriophages c)all prokaryotes + some eukaryotes + all bacteriophages d)all prokaryotes + all eukaryotes + certain viruses

Answer 1

Answer:

all prokaryotes all eukaryotes and certain viruses

Explanation:

viruses contain either RNA or DNA

Answer 2

Answer:

DNA is the genetic material in the following organisms:  d) all prokaryotes + all eukaryotes +  certain viruses.

Explanation:

• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes while viruses can have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material.
• The amount of genetic material is small in prokaryotes and it is in the form of circular DNA.
• The genetic material in eukaryotes is present in the nucleus, a specialized structure, and the DNA is organized in the chromosome.
• In viruses, the genetic material could be either DNA or RNA (ribonucleic acid).
• Bacteriophages can also have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material.
