Best Answer

All living things have DNA. Each cell of the plants and animals that we eat contains that organism's DNA. When food is eaten, the DNA of the consumed organism is digested, or broken down, into the nucleic acids that comprise it: cytosine, guanine, tyrosine, and adenine. These individual nucleic acids are then utilized in the body of the consumer, by his own cells for DNA replication.
