How does a sexual life cycle increase genetic variation?
Well, if an organism reproduces asexually then it only has the genetic information from itself to use in creating a new organism. With sexual reproduction, the organism has the genetic information from more than one organism to use, which produces more varied organisms, and it becomes more varied the more different genetic information is used over generations.
What role does DNA play in the chemistry of life?
DNA is the template that carries all of the genetic information, which is then transcribed and translated into proteins to form all of the chemicals and structures in a living organism.
What is an individual form of life that uses energy to carry out the activities of life called?
I think it's an organism
What stores genetic information in cells?
DNA is the molecule that holds the genetic information in all cellular forms of life and some viruses. Occasionally, RNA also stores genetic information in cells.
What evidence is there that chromosomes carry genetic information?
Short Answer: Life. Long Answer: Life.

Which characteristics of life is not essential to survival of an individual organism?
Reproduction
If life is based on information, what is that information?
That information is the genetic material (DNA).

What life function is necessary to the species but not the individual organism?
Reproduction

What carries out all life functions of the cell?
genetic information
Why does an organism bother to reproduce?
It's part of the life cycle to continue the parent's "legacy" and their genetic material.
Genetic material in living organism is composed of organic molecules called?
First of all you're question is flawed. All living things contain genetic information, and therefore seeing as the cell is the smallest unit of life they must all contain genetic information. Prokaryotic cells have naked DNA, meaning it is not encapsulated in a nucleus while eukaryotic cells contain the DNA in a nucleus.
What carries genetic information in real life?
mRNA, i hope this helped!(:
