1 DNA

2 Is often called the blueprint of life It contains the instruction for making proteins in the cell

3 Why do we study DNA? It is important to all life on Earth Medical benefits such as cure for diseases

4 Chromosomes and DNA Genes are on the chromosome. Genes are part of chromosome. (part of DNA) Chromosomes are made of DNA that is coiled

5 The shape of the molecule DNA is very long polymer (line) The basic shape is like twisted ladder or a zipper The shape is called double helix

6 The double helix has 2 strands twisted together
