Is DNA deoxyribonucleic acid classified as a genetic material or protein and why?

DNA is genetic material, not a protein.
Proteins are made of amino acids and DNA is made of nucleotides, which in turn are made of adenine, guanine, timine and cytosine bases, deoxyriboses (monosaccharides made of 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates.

What is protein covered genetic material?
Viruses are bits of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that are covered in a protein sheath.
What does acronym DNA stands for?
Answer...Deoxyribonucleic acidDNA is a type of genetic material in the shape of a double-helix. Two long strands are joined together by several rungs of protein. These protein rungs come in differing variations of genetic chemicals to pass information on to the next generation of persons in a family, and is found in human life-forms as well as all other animals and alive organisms.
Can eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material?
Yes, eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the genetic materials such as DNA and other protein complexes.
Is protein and DNA the same?
No. DNA is genetic material that carries the instructions for making proteins.
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the protein parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
How is the the genetic material used to make a protein?
genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
What stand of hereditary material surrounding by a protein coating?
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)

What is the antonym for genetic material?
The protein sequence.
What cellular organelle is associated with the translation of the genetic code into an actual protein?
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid; and RNA, or ribonucleic acid
What Material in nucleus that contains genetic information?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic information inside cells. The genetic information itself is a code of letters out of 4 possible nitrogen bases (A,T,G,C) eg. ACGTATGCATGGT. A gene is a portion of this code that has information for the construction of one type of protein chain.
What is the different between genetic material and genetic information?
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic nitrogenous bases. It is a totality of both codons and anticodons. it is the source of genetic information. Genetic information refers to the code or specific information carried by a codon (nucleotide) which can be "transcribed" into a messenger RNA to build a specific protein, enzyme or hormone in the body.
Who determines the genetic material used to make a protein?
scientists
When the genetic material was first being isolated and studied there was a controversy about it being DNA or protein-- those that backed protein as the genetic material almost got it right-- explain?
Scientists thought genetic material was a protein not DNA because there are 20 different amino acids for a building of a protein polymer, while DNA polymers only have 4 nucleotide bases.
