    DNA is the blueprint of organisms that is stored as a chemical code in each cell. It is made up of nucleotides that form a double helix ladder structure. DNA can be found in sources like hair and blood, and analyzing DNA from a crime scene can help identify suspects or find lost family members by matching their DNA. Purines and pyrimidines bond together in the DNA ladder because they fit together like puzzle pieces. The sequence of one strand determines the sequence of the other strand. DNA profiling and gel electrophoresis are used to analyze DNA samples and match them to identify individuals.
