Detailed explanation-1: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -The molecular organization of DNA is such that it is formed of 2 complementary, antiparallel polynucleotide chains, twisted around a common axis in the form of a right-handed double helix.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s also critical to understand that the specific sequence of A, T, C, and G nucleotides within an organism’s DNA is unique to that individual, and it is this sequence that controls not only the operations within a particular cell, but within the organism as a whole.
Detailed explanation-4: -Characteristics that are encoded in DNA are called genetic traits. Different types of human traits are inherited in different ways. Some human traits have simple inheritance patterns like the traits that Gregor Mendel studied in pea plants.
