DNA was first discovered by a Swiss scientist named Friedrich Miescher in 1868.
DNA was originally referred to as nuclein and is considered a substance that does not have an important role in the body.
The discovery of DNA structure was carried out by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
Watson and Crick use data from previous research conducted by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
The DNA structure consists of two strands that are bound through a base pair.
The bases in DNA consist of adenin, thymine, guanin, and cytosin.
Genes are part of DNA that contain genetic information needed to control the function and characteristics of organisms.
DNA can be inherited from parent to child through the reproductive process.
Changes in DNA can cause genetic mutations that can affect the function of the organism.
The discovery of DNA has opened the way for the discovery and development of genetic engineering technology that can be used to treat various diseases.
