The DNA molecule contains a lot of chemical structures that "tell" the ribosomes how to create new proteins (that have a lot of functions). Ribosomes which are small grains situated in the cytoplasm understand the message that is brought to them from the nucleus by the "messager RNA molecule" and with the help of "Transport RNA molecule" they produce proteins.

Afterwards proteins do all the work

In the DNA, there are bonds between Adenine and Thymine and Cytosine and Gaunine, (by hydrogen bonds). When making proteins, a set of three of these bonds are called codons, which bond with the matching bases to form proteins.

Through the use of Triplet Codons.

DNA consists of various sequences of nitrogen bases (Adenine which ONLY pairs with Thymine in DNA, and Cytosine with ONLY pairs with Guanine).The sequences or the order of the pairings of these nitrogen bases determine the information.

the structure of DNA allows DNA to contain information.The order of the bases on one side of DNA is a code that carries information
