The correct answer is option 1. DNA is the genetic material in most organisms. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) carries the genetic information in the form of genes and is found in the nucleus of cells. It is responsible for transmitting traits and characteristics from one generation to the next. In most organisms, DNA is the primary molecule that stores and transmits genetic information.
Option 2 states that RNA is the genetic material in most viruses and bacteria. While RNA (ribonucleic acid) does play a role in genetic processes, it is not the primary genetic material in most organisms. RNA is involved in protein synthesis and gene regulation.
Option 3 states that DNA is the genetic material in all viruses. This is not entirely accurate, as some viruses have RNA as their genetic material rather than DNA.
Option 4 states that RNA is the genetic material in all viruses. This is incorrect, as some viruses have DNA as their genetic material.
