Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of almost all the living organism. DNA is made of the four nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose pentose sugar and the phosphate group.

DNA has the ability to acts as the hereditary material as it gets transfer from one generation to the next generation. Organism inherit their DNA from their parents.
