DNA also contains all the genetic coding which is used to control functions, behavior and development of an organism. DNA is also used as a long term storage device to store the genetic instructions. These instructions must be correct so the DNA can make an exact copy of itself. The function of DNA in a cell is to code the way proteins turn genes on or off. the function of DNA is to make the proteins. DNA is the foundation of life.
