Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is an organic chemical that contains genetic

information and instructions for protein synthesis.

It is found in most cells of every organism. DNA is a key part of reproduction
in which genetic heredity occurs through the passing down of DNA from parent or
parents to offspring.

DNA stores all information that makes up any organism. That’s quite a lot of
information but what’s interesting
about DNA is that it is made of just four building blocks, which are
– cytosine (C), thymine (T), guanine (G) and adenine (A).

Human DNA is 94% to 98% identical to the DNA of chimpanzees. That’s quite
understandable
but what’s shocking is that human DNA is 50% identical to the DNA of bananas!

If we want to store all digital information in this world, all we need is 2 grams
of DNA.

If someone manages to unwind all DNA molecules in a human body and place them end
to end,
the total length that can be covered is 10 billion miles! That’s the distance
covered in a trip
from Earth to Pluto and back to Earth.
