Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic material must contain the information necessary to construct the entire organism, must be passed from parent to offspring, and must be able to be copied accurately in order to maintain the genetic information from one generation to the next. While genetic material can have variation (such as mutations), it does not have a limited amount of variation.
