DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, which is a molecule that stores genetic information in organism cells.
All living things have DNA, ranging from plants, animals, to humans.
DNA consists of four types of bases, namely adenin, guanine, cytosin, and thymine. These base sequences determine the genetic information stored in DNA.
Adults have around 100 billion cells in their bodies, and each cell has the same DNA.
Human DNA has a length of about 2 meters if pulled straight, but the size is very small so that it can fit in the cell nucleus.
Chromosomes are structures that wrap DNA in cells, and humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Genetic is the study of inheritance of the nature of parents to children through DNA.
Genetic mutations can occur when errors occur in DNA copying, and can cause changes in nature in organisms.
DNA is also used to identify individuals in the field of forensics or father's compliance tests.
CRISPR-CAS9 technique is the latest technology that allows scientists to edit DNA precisely to change the nature of organisms.
