DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA stores the genetic make up of each cell in
the human body. The twisted nature of the
strands are the double helix. The bars hold one
of the four types of acids. The combinations of the acids
read like a book to scientists. Each parent provides 50%
of a persons DNA . The eye color, the height of a
person are just a few simple instructions that DNA hold.
