Directions for the User

Here are some reminders to guide as you go through this module:
1. Read and follow each directions carefully;
2. Answer the pre-test before proceeding to the activity;
3. Take down notes and record points for clarification;
4. Always aim to get at least 80% of the total number of items given;
5. Be sure to answer the post test at the end of the module.
Introduction
The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information. DNA is
responsible for inheritance, coding for proteins and the genetic instruction guide for life structure
and functions. DNA holds the instructions for an organism's or each cell's development and
reproduction and ultimately death.
