DNA: Everything about you

                    Hello and welcome back to a new blog post. Today we are going to talk more about DNA and how it can help us become unique and live the way we want to live. First off I will explain what DNA is , DNA( short for deoxyribonucleic acid), is hereditary material found all over your body inside of your cells usually in the nucleus. Some are in the mitochondria. The reason why DNA is important is because without it, we wouldn't live since it contains life's functions. Also, it makes us unique.


























Speaking of DNA, there are famous people that were pioneers of the DNA exploration. Rosalind Franklin was a scientist and a biologist that was studying in a college one day building a structure of the tobacco mosaic virus until suddenly, she travelled around the world telling people about her work that led to the model of the DNA molecule. James Watson, and Francis Crick once were gathering background research about x-ray crystallography, until one day, they discovered the molecule which is DNA and started making a humungous model for it.


                                                                    
                                                                                                                                







         Self explanatory to what the picture is above, DNA looks like a twisted ladder with base pairs as the bars of the ladder. The side of the ladder is made of sugar phosphate. The nitrogen bases of the DNA molecule is cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. Adenine is always connected to the hydrogen bond of thymine and guanine is always connected to cytosine.





What happens to DNA as it is being replicated before mitosis is the same thing as the process of mitosis. Although, since the chromosomes are made out of DNA,  they allow the DNA to split into two RNA, and two halves of the chromosome can be split apart during mitosis.


The interesting thing about DNA is, it can be used to investigate crime scenes.How it is used to investigate crime scenes is, the investigators can read the code of the DNA to know who it was.




Well, see ya later.
