DNA or DehydroxyriboNucleic Acid is the type of molecules all known living organisms use to store and pass on codes for the protiens they need to form. Every cell that replicates need to have a full set of DNA (RBCs do not replicate and so do not require any DNA). DNA is a polymer of nucleic acids which have three parts, a sugar part, a phosphate part and a base. The base is what really matters in the fromation of the code as the rest of the parts are common to all the necleotides but the bases can change. There ore 4 options that a base can be and each is given a letter, A (adenine), T (Thymine), C (Cysteine), G (Guanine). These nucleotides join up to make long long chais that code for protiens. Protteins are also long chains, this time each link in the chain is an Amino Acid. Within the DNA chain their are large template sections, the genes, which are the parts that code for what order the amino acids go in on each different protein. The rest of the DNA is often reffered to as "junk DNA" however this term is only used by people not up to date with genetic advances as these noncoding parts are currently thought to affect how quickly protiens are made. Anyway, the template sections have the bases above in order, in groups of three. Each of these groups of three codes for one amino acid in the protien. In trough how DNA works is far far far more complicated than this when you really get into it but a direct answer to your qustion would be; DNA is the template for life. It caries genes that code for all the proteins the cell will need, and usually many more, as well as regions of noncoding DNA.
