What is DNA?
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for all living organisms. It determines inherited traits such as eye color, height, and even aspects of health.

How does it relate to the cell?
DNA is found in the nucleus of nearly every cell in the body. It is organized into structures called chromosomes. Each cell uses DNA as a blueprint to build proteins and carry out essential functions.

What function does it serve in the human body?
DNA provides the instructions for making proteins, which are responsible for almost every function in the body—such as building tissues, controlling chemical reactions, and maintaining cell structure. It also ensures genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.

How does it relate to Forensics?
In forensic science, DNA is used to identify individuals. Because everyone’s DNA (except identical twins) is unique, samples from blood, hair, skin, or saliva can link a suspect to a crime scene or help identify victims.
