Explanation / Answer

* Genetic information is also found on extra-chromosomal material, called plasmids

* DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into functional proteins

* DNA is supercoiled by the enzyme DNA gyrase

* Genetic information is primarily contained within a double-stranded DNA helix.

The other three options are not correct for the following reasons:
* DNA is primarily contained within a membrane-bound nucleus - ths is not true is case of prokaryotes in whcih the DNA is present in the cytoplasm

* DNA contains genetic information and contian thymine instead of uracil.

* DNA is primarily linear with multiple copies - DNA is circular in case of prokaryotes. It is present as a single copy in them.
