The atom is the smallest unit containing a nucleus. However, this is not considered living. The smallest living thing in the world (besides viruses) are a parasitic Bacterium called Mycoplasma Gallicepticum.
They are called cells
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.
Yes, animal cells have a nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material (DNA). This nucleus acts as the control center of the cell, regulating its activities and directing cell growth and reproduction.
The cell is the smallest living thing and an atom is the smallest non-living thing.
The nucleus of a cell controls the inheritance of living things through the transmission of genetic information in the form of DNA. This genetic material contains instructions for how an organism develops and functions, ultimately dictating its traits and characteristics.
The part of a living cell that contains DNA is called the nucleus. DNA is typically found within the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, where it is organized into structures called chromosomes.

A cell is the smallest living thing in your body. It contains a cell membrane, organelles, a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, vacuoles, and cytoplasm.

Mycoplasms =) The smallest living cell is called SAR11. It also has the smallest genome. It is a bacteria group found mainly in the seas.
I think currently the smallest living organisms are thought to be "viroids", which are smaller than viruses. Scientists are still figuring out exactly what viroids are, and do, but they are able to replicate, which means they are life.
Cells are made up of protoplasm. It is the living substance. It contains cytoplasm, a jelly like material, and a nucleus. The nucleus controls the working of the whole cell.
It is called a Eukaryotic cell
The material is called cytoplasm. It is a jelly-like substance that contains various organelles and is responsible for supporting cell processes such as metabolism and growth.
The part of the cell that contains the living substance of the cell excluding the nucleus is the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and is where many cellular processes take place, such as protein synthesis and energy production.
The smallest particle of an element that can exist and still retain the properties of the element is an atom. Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's identity.
