The genetic material of all organisms which is made up of two twisted strands in a double helix is called DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)
DNA is the basis of all genetic information. It contains all instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms and some viruses. The main function of DNA is the long-term storage of information to build other cell components like Proteins and RNA. It is composed of two strands with 4 possible bases which are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).
