04 Is DNA the genetic material of every organism?

  • The two experiments show that the genes of pneumonia bacteria and phages are DNA.
  • Are all genes made of DNA?
  • No – some viruses contain RNA instead, and in them RNA is the genetic material (for example, the AIDS virus, influenza virus, polio virus).
  • These viruses are exceptions, and form a small part of life's forms; for nearly all living things, DNA is the genetic material.
