A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
Yes it is. To be organic a molecule needs to have carbon in it. DNA is composed of a lot of carbon.
Messenger DNA
What components make up the backbone of DNA
a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar molecule, and a nitrogen baseAnd the five-carbon sugar is deoxyribose, which gives DNA its name of deoxyribonucleic acid.

DNA is a type of nucleic acid.
DNA is a molecule. There are also a bunch of proteins/molecules called histones that organise the DNA molecule into a condensed state.
