The true statement from the options provided is:

All animals have DNA.

The other statements are not accurate:

  • DNA is not too similar to use for grouping organisms; in fact, genetic analysis often helps in understanding evolutionary relationships.
  • DNA is not a protein; it is a nucleic acid.
  • While proteins can play a role in the processes that involve DNA (like transcription and replication), they do not signal cells to make DNA directly.
