genetic material (countable and uncountable, plural genetic materials)
The material used to store genetic information in the nuclei, mitochondria or plastids of an organism's cells; either DNA or RNA
It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material. Francis Crick
Evolution often uses this strategy. Indeed, the standard evolutionary practice of increasing the amount of genetic information as organisms increase in complexity is accomplished by doubling part of the genetic material and then allowing the slow specialization of function of the redundant set. Carl Sagan
We are all 99.9 percent genetically equal. It is one one-hundredth of one percent of genetic material that makes the difference between any one of us. Barry Schuler
It is essential for genetic material to be able to make exact copies of itself; otherwise growth would produce disorder, life could not originate, and favourable forms would not be perpetuated by natural selection. Maurice Wilkins
It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. Francis Crick
Vampires smiled for many reasons, but when a vampire male smiled at you from this distance with that kind of look in his eyes it was done for one purpose only: to impress. Look at my big teeth. I'm an apex predator. My genetic material is awesome. Ilona Andrews
