Which is true of DNA?
A
Cannot be duplicated
B
Found in all living cells
C
Found only in male cells
D
Produced only in a test tube
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All living things have DNA within their cells. In fact, nearly every cell in a multicellular organism possesses the full set of DNA required for that organism. However, DNA does more than specify the structure and function of living things-it also serves as the primary unit of heredity in organisms of all types.

Detailed explanation-2: -An organism’s complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell structures known as mitochondria. Mitochondria generate the energy the cell needs to function properly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Detailed explanation-4: -All cells have DNA. The above is the true statement. DNA is the genetic material. So, it is present in all the living cells from bacteria to human beings.

Detailed explanation-5: -Often referred to as the molecule of life, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in almost all living things. It acts as a type of chemical code that contains instructions, known as genes, for how the body and all its different parts grow, develop, function, and maintain themselves.
