The correct answers regarding the importance of DNA are:
1. **DNA found in one organism probably shares some similar instructions found in another species.**
2. **DNA is composed of only four bases that repeat in a sequence that is different for each species.**
3. **DNA is found in all organisms and carries instructions to build those organisms.**
The other statements are incorrect:
- **Some organisms don't actually have DNA**: This is not true for all known organisms; all known living organisms have DNA (though some viruses may use RNA).
- **The DNA of each organism is made out of different types of chemicals**: This is misleading; while the sequence and organization of DNA can vary widely, the basic structure of DNA (made up of nucleotides comprising the same four bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) is consistent across all organisms.
