Genetic Information

Did you know that the nucleus of each of the
trillions of cells making up the human body

includes a data bank big enough to fill a 900-
volume encyclopaedia?

NA is a huge molecule hidden in the nucleus of every living cell. All physical traits of
a creature are coded in this helical molecule. All the information about our bodies,
D from the colour of our eyes to the structure of our internal organs and the form and
functions of our cells, are encoded in sections called genes in DNA.
The DNA code is made up of the sequence of four different bases.
If we think of each of these bases as a letter, DNA can be likened to
a databank made up of an alphabet of four letters. All the
information about a living thing is stored in this databank.
If we attempted to write down the information in DNA, this would
take up approximately a million pages. This is equal to an
encyclopaedia forty times bigger than The Encyclopaedia Britannica,
which is one of mankind's greatest accumulations of information.
