However, the option that DNA is used as genetic material by all organisms is not correct because there are some viruses that use RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. DNA is indeed the genetic material for all living organisms, but when it comes to all organisms including certain viruses, this statement does not hold true. The correct answer to the question - The following are features and characteristics of the DNA molecule except - is d) is used as genetic material by all organisms.
