Genetic material is used to store the genetic information of an organic life form. For all currently known living organisms, the genetic material is almost exclusively Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). F. Crick proposed that all biological information is encoded in DNA, transmitted by DNA replication, transcribed into RNA, and translated into protein. Natural selection acts upon two major sources of genetic variation: mutations and recombination of genes through sexual reproduction.
