Film summary
How does our DNA make us unique, and how is this unique genetic information passed on when cells divide?Key facts
- Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) molecules are found in chromosomes within all our cells.
- DNA instructs the cell to make specific proteins that determine personality and physical traits.
- Due to a double-helix structure, DNA can replicate itself and its base sequence.
- Each person's DNA contains a unique sequence of base molecules - adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine.
Transcript
All the information needed to create life, is encoded in this molecule – DNA.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Packaged in tightly coiled structures called chromosomes, it's stored in the nucleus of all our cells.
DNA is what makes each living thing different.
It determines our physical, and personality traits.
The function of our DNA is …
