DisoxyriboNucleic Acid contains all the genetic information, called the genome, that enables the development, functioning and reproduction of living things.
Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA, is an important biological molecule found in virtually all cells and in many viruses. DNA contains all the genetic data, known as the genome, that is responsible for the development, function and reproduction of living organisms. This substance is a nucleic acid, as is ribonucleic acid (RNA). One of the three major families of biopolymers required for all known life forms is nucleic acids, together with peptides and carbohydrates.
