What is the genetic material for most of the organisms?

Step-by-step solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the two types of nucleic acids found in living systems. DNA acts as the genetic material in most of the organisms. RNA though it also acts as a genetic material in some viruses, mostly functions as a messenger. RNA has additional roles as well. It functions as adapter, structural, and in some cases as a catalytic molecule.In Class XI you have already learnt the structures of nucleotides and the way these monomer units are linked to form nucleic acid polymer
