All living organisms contain genetic material that is composed of

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

Explanation:

In living beings (and in retroviruses), the genetic material is composed almost exclusively of deoxyribonucleic acid, known as double-stranded DNA.

DNA is an organic compound that contains genetic information that coordinates the development and the vital functions of the organisms of living beings.

That means that it determines the physical and physiological characteristics. In addition, it has the function of transmitting hereditary traits, such as, for example, hair color, eye color, and much other physical aspects.

In the case of DNA viruses, the material may be made of single-stranded DNA, while RNA viruses have RNA ribonucleic acid as their genetic material.
