It contains the blueprint for the synthesis of all proteins needed as building blocks and for proper functioning of the cell.

The proteins that cells synthesize doesn't determine what characters we express, what our bodies will be made of, and what can we do.

The nitrogenous base sequences determine the kinds of proteins our cells synthesize, which, in turn, determine the expression of a particular trait.

There are 46 chromosomes and around 35,000 genes in a human cell. Each chromosome may contain hundreds or thousands of genes that are linearly arranged along its entire length.

A gene could be 3001 base pairs long. There are around 3.1 billion nitrogenous base pairs in a complete set of human chromosomes.

It is a type of nucleic acid.

DNA is made up of these three components:

James Watson and Francis Crick were the first scientist who described the DNA molecule as a “double helix.”

The rungs of the ladder are made up of nitrogenous bases that is made up of four layers in extremely messy manner.
