Amazing DNA

Get ready for an up-close look at DNA.

Did you know that nearly every cell in every living thing contains DNA? These tiny threadlike strands control how all plants, animals, and even bacteria are made. DNA holds the entire building plan for each cell found in every living thing. DNA also holds the code for what each living thing looks like — for example, whether your eyes are blue or brown, or whether you are tall or short. It’s time to journey through these very small parts of your body and see how amazing DNA really is.
