Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA, is a molecule that

contains our instructions for making proteins. It is located inside

the nucleus of our cells. DNA is made up of building blocks
called nucleic acids. Each nucleic acid contains a 5 carbon
sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. There are 4
different nitrogen bases in DNA: adenine which pairs with
thymine, and there is guanine which pairs with cytosine.
