DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms. This includes animals, plants, protists, archaea and bacteria. DNA is in each cell in the organism and tells cells what proteins to make. Mostly, these proteins are enzymes.
DNA has two main biological functions (aside from being a very elegant looking macromolecule). Primarily, it serves to store/determine the biological characteristics of any living thing according to a very specific arrangement of molecular connections, as will be defined in a later section of this site.
