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.
Yes, all living things have genetic material.
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.
They have genetic material and they reproduce.
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.
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.

This is called asexual reproduction, where offspring inherit all of their genetic material from a single parent. There is no genetic contribution from a second parent organism in this type of reproduction.
They are all single celled organisms with genetic material contained in a nucleus.
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
They have genetic material and they reproduce.
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.
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.
All living organisms have DNA. They differ subtly, but are about 99% similar.

No, mold is not prokaryotic. Mold is a type of fungus, and fungi are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have their genetic material contained in a nucleus within their cells. Prokaryotic organisms, like bacteria, do not have a nucleus and their genetic material is free-floating in the cell.
All living things have of a genetic material.
