DNA is an abbreviation of Deoxyribonucleic Acid or deoksiribonucleic acid which is the basic molecule of inheritance.
Humans have around 20,000 - 25,000 genes in their DNA, which determine physical characteristics, such as eye color, hair color, and height.
Human cells contain about 6 feet and neatly folded in a small cell nucleus.
Human DNA has 99.9% similarities, while the remaining 0.1% is what makes every individual unique.
Genetics studies how biological traits are derived from generation to generation.
DNA sequencing technology has allowed humans to understand more deep aspects of inheritance and treatment of genetic diseases.
Crispr technology allows us to cut and change unwanted DNA sequences, open up opportunities to treat genetic diseases.
DNA can be used to identify people through forensic DNA tests.
DNA tests can also be used to determine the authenticity of food and beverage products.
Some animals have very unique DNAs, such as sharks that have large genomes and dolphins that have genomes that are very similar to humans.
