  DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, in cells serves as the primary storage unit for genetic information, dictating the development and functioning of an organism. It contains the instructions for building and maintaining all aspects of a living thing, from its physical characteristics to how it carries out life processes/

  DNA is the genetic code in a cell that makes up genes. It has all the instructions needed by a living organisms to grow reproduce and function.
  
  I run a social media platform called “Genes Zetu” which gives the basics of genetics in both swahili and english 🙂
