We have 2 types: prokaryotic: cells of bacteria and algae, lack nuclear membranes, eukaryotic: multicellular plants, etc, have nucleus and chromosomes in them. Both carry genetic material and a set of instructions. Instructions for most living systems stored in the dna - deoxyribonucleic acid. Some life forms based on rna - ribonucleic acid. Also contributes to function of dna based life forms.
