Protein was originally thought to be the genetic material because of its complexity, protein is made up 20 different amino acids while DNA only consists of four bases. This was logical as the complexity would account for diversity in organisms. But after more research was done it was realized that DNA was actually the genetic material.
A virus
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.
Chromosomal defects in offspring. Because no genetic material is lost with inversion of genetic material, individuals often have no obvious physical effects. The major risk with the inversion of genetic material is that offspring of these individuals may have more severe chromosomal abnormalities.
Chromosomes and sister chromatids are joined strands of duplicated genetic material. A chromatid is one copy of a duplicated chromosome which, before replication, is composed of one DNA molecule.
An organism's genetic material is packaged in its chromosomes. The genetic material can be in the form of either DNA or RNA.

yes
Genetic material in an individual is composed of DNA molecules found in the cell's nucleus that carry genetic instructions. These instructions determine an individual's traits and characteristics. DNA is passed from parents to offspring and is responsible for variations in species.
A virus
Chromatin is the cellular material that is solely composed of DNA and proteins. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for packaging and organizing the genetic material.
It's the nucleus.The structure of Eukaryotic cells that contain genetic material is the nucleus.

They contain genetic material. Although virus' contain genetic material, they can not reproduce without being inside of a host cell. Many scientists question if they can be considered living or not, as this is the only life function they are capable of performing.
Genetic engineering is possible because all organisms share a similar genetic code with DNA as the universal genetic material. This allows scientists to transfer genes between different species or manipulate existing genes to create desired traits. This shared genetic code provides a foundation for genetic engineering to function effectively across various organisms.
False. The inner core of the Earth is composed of solid iron and nickel, while genetic material is found in the nucleus of cells.
