DNA molecule is made up of two long chains,
called strands, arranged in a double helix.
o Each chain is made up of four kinds of
chemical building blocks called
nucleotides, abbreviated A, T, C, and G 
Protein-encoding genes control protein
production indirectly, using a related molecule
called RNA as an intermediary.
Sequence of nucleotides is transcribed into
mRNA -> translated to series of protein
building blocks called amino acids.
The entire process by which the information in
a gene directs the manufacture of a cellular
product is called gene expression.

This universality of the genetic code is a


strong piece of evidence that all life is
related.

Genomics: Large-scale Analysis of


DNA Sequences
The entire “library” of genetic instructions that an
organism inherits is called its genome.
 A typical human cell has two similar sets
of chromosomes, and each set has
approximately 3 billion nucleotide pairs
of DNAs.
