Answer:

It must encode the blueprint to form proteins and other structures.

It must be able to replicate and transmit to progeny.

It must have heritable traits that can be passed to offspring.

Explanation:

The genetic material in most living cells is stored as Deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA). It is one of the two types of nucleic acids that are made up of nucleotide subunits, the other one being RNA.

Every genetic material in living organisms consists of segments called GENES that encodes the formation of functional products e.g protein and RNA. These gene undergoes expression to be converted to what it encodes.

Another attribute the genetic material should possess is the ability to double it's content during cellular division in order for each daughter cell to receive an equal and correct amount of it. This duplication of genetic material occurs during the S phase of the interphase stage.

The genetic material (genes) must be able to hold information and pass the genetic traits to the offspring during reproduction.

Hypothalamus <u>maintains the body temperature to a normal temperature of about 37°C.</u> When you step out without the jacket in cold, your body temperature fall to 37°C. When the hypothalamus senses that you are too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make you shiver and create warmth. This is called maintaining homeostasis.
