fers to the DNA molecule as ". . . perhaps

the most beautiful of our molecules, but
like a fine book, its true beauty lies not in
binding, but in the words written with-
in." 66
All of a person's physical characteris-
tics have been encoded by means of this
special language and stored in the cell nu-
cleus. An organism's body shape, the vital
functions of all its organs and the organi-
zation of how those organs function, the

genetic codes and amounts of proteins that
need to be produced within the cell are all
encoded in DNA. This enormous code
contains information about a person's en-
tire body, ever since it was no more than a
single cell. To put it another way, before
the individual even became a human be-
ing, a comprehensive blueprint for the en-
tire body was ready in a single molecule.
When referring to the nucleic acids
that make up DNA in the cell nucleus, we
shall continue to use the letter analogy.

These letters, as we explained earlier, come
together in specific pairs to form the
"steps" on the staircase. By being added
one on top the next, these steps then con-
stitute genes. Every gene in part of the
DNA molecule controls specific human
features. Height, eye color, the structure of
the nose, ears and skull, and countless oth-
