Because that's how nature made the all the organisms, there is no real reason to why.
According to theory, a common ancestor gave rise to all of us, and its DNA (genetic information) was passed on to all of the organisms we see today.
Organisms that have no genetic material at all are typically classified as acellular entities, such as viruses. While viruses contain genetic material (either DNA or RNA), they lack the cellular structure and machinery necessary for independent life. However, in the context of strictly no genetic material, certain prions—misfolded proteins that can induce abnormal folding of normal proteins—are considered to have no genetic material. Prions are infectious agents but do not contain DNA or RNA.
The characteristics of all organisms and viruses are determined by the instructions carried in their genetic material, which is primarily composed of DNA or RNA. This genetic material encodes the information necessary for growth, development, and functioning. In organisms, DNA is organized into genes that dictate traits, while in viruses, RNA or DNA contains the instructions for replication and infection.
Yes DNA or more specifically genetic material is one of the fundamental requirements for something to be classified as alive, which bacteria are. Bacteria do not conventionally have a nucleus so their genetic material is stored in plasmids, rings of DNA.
Two types of genetic material are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA carries genetic information for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms. RNA is involved in protein synthesis and regulation of gene expression.
Yes, all living things have genetic material.
All living organisms have DNA. They differ subtly, but are about 99% similar.
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
One untrue statement about DNA is that it is the only genetic material in living organisms. Another untrue statement is that all DNA is organized in the same way in all organisms. Additionally, it is false to say that DNA is a protein.

DNA is found (usually) in each cell of an organism in the nucleus or in an area called a nucleoid.
Yes, DNA is found in virtually all living organisms, including animals. DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for an organism's development, functioning, and reproduction. It is present in the nucleus of cells in animals.
No. All living organisms (and some viruses) use DNA in reproduction, where it establishes the genetic code of an individual plant or animal, primarily based on the DNA of the parent organism(s).
Another name for genetic material is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms.
Yes, genetic material is found in all cells. It carries the instructions required for the growth, development, and functioning of organisms. In eukaryotic cells, genetic material is located in the cell nucleus.
