DNA carries the genetic information from "summary" of The Biology Book by DK

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that holds the genetic instructions for all living organisms. This remarkable molecule is responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next. DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell in our bodies, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes contain the specific genes that determine our unique traits and characteristics. The genetic information encoded in DNA is in the form of a code made up of four different nucleotide bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases pair up in a specific way - A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G. This pairing is crucial for the process of DNA replication, where each strand of DNA serves as a template for creating a new strand. This ensures that the genetic information is faithfully copied and passed on to ...
