~ DNA is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce.
~ Genes make up about 3 percent of your DNA.
~ The human genome contains 3 billion base pairs of DNA.
~ Your DNA can stretch from the Earth to the sun and back... 600 times!
~ DNA is a two strand molecule.
~ Deoxyribonucleic acid is short for DNA.
~ DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides.
~ Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen group.
~ DNA contains four basic nitrogen building bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.
~ Each strand of your DNA is composed of a sequence of the four basic building bases.
~ The order of the bases is always adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), guanine (G). The sequence is never rearranged.
~ Each base pair is joined together by hydrogen bonds.
~ The strands separate during DNA replication. 
~ More than 99 percent of these bases are in the same people.
~ DNA is passed down from your parents.]]> 2019-05-14 17:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360010266 austyncrowley897 https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360022491 DNA molecule]]> 2019-05-14 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360022491 austyncrowley897 https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360447788 One of the molecules each DNA strand has in it.]]> 2019-05-15 16:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360447788 austyncrowley897 https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360448312 DNA is passed down from your parent!

DNA was discovered by a swiss biochemist Frederich Miescher. Miescher first observed DNA in the late 1800's. A century passed after the discovery of DNA and scientists  unraveled the structure of DNA. For years scientists debated if all biological instruction were carried by DNA or if they were carried by protiens.]]> 2019-05-15 17:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/austyncrowley897/8msu1b4obmmd/wish/360456824
