DNA contains a genetic instruction manual for creating life. From eye color, to height, to the probability of getting certain diseases, it’s the reason hereditary traits are passed down through generations. Consider it the ultimate method of biological information storage.

In this episode of Perspectives, four experts explain what DNA is, how we discovered it, and how it makes you, you.

Great video ❤️ Thank you for explaining it (DNA) in a straight forward way that even I can understand!

this subject is really interesting, so our emotions can inherited through ages and it can tell us things we don't realise

Scientists: "All 'information', we know...can be traced to a mind. (Except, DNA. Except the planets rotations. Except the universe...etc)." Lol. (Because a Designer/Creator...just cannot be real). Lol.
