Every cell on Earth is made up of DNA. DNA carries the hereditary information of the cell. The hereditary information is copied for passing onto cell to cell and ultimately specify a protein by the instructions in the DNA. Proteins are the work forces of our cell. DNA is a raw material of genes. Genes are arranged on two long nucleotide strands known as DNA strands. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick determined the structure of DNA.
Large amounts of DNA are required to get an exact correspondence between the 4 letter nucleotide of DNA and the 20 letter amino acid of proteins. Each human cell contains about 2 meter of DNA and yet it is tucked into very small nucleus.

genetic engineering
What can food provide for living organisms?
you a living organism so you ought to know what food provides
What does genetically altered organism mean?
A genetically altered organism is a living thing that, through various laboratory techniques, has had its DNA/RNA changed in some way.
What structure is common to all five kingdoms of living organism?
The most universal biological structure is the cell.
What DNA provide to a living organism?

What does DNA provide a living organism?
DNA provides the information necessary to take a number of lifeless chemicals and turn them into a living system.
What organism has DNA?
All living organisms have DNA..
What lacks DNA?
Anything that is not considered to be a living organism. If it was never living (like a rock), then it has no DNA. All living beings have DNA. Viruses however, are not considered living because they do not have DNA.
Does every organism living thing quiere DNA?
every living thing had DNA if it didnt have DNA it wouldn't be alive or be what it looks like

Why is DNA not present in plants?
DNA is present in plants and every other living organism.
What molecules provide the code of instructions for the characteristic of an organism?
DNA
Why do viruses infect living organisms?
Because the living organism has to replicate the DNA that the virus infects the host with. It can't do this if it is a dead organism.
Do things have DNA?
Every organism has DNA, yes (and a few viruses). However, non-living objects (rocks, laptops, aluminum cans) do not have DNA.
Biologists change the DNA code of a living organism through?
genetic engineering
How does DNA function in a living cell?
to have genetic information of the organism
