(short for deoxyribonucleic acid) is a type of nucleic acid, a macromolecule that stores genetic information. The collection of all your DNA

NA is called your genome, which is like a recipe book that tells your body how to build everything it needs to survive.

Each individual recipe in the recipe book is called a gene.

he nucleus, the control center of the cell.

A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G. These are called base pairs.

This process is called DNA replication, which happens inside the nucleus.

Next comes transcription, which also happens inside the nucleus, the control center of the cell.

gene in the DNA is copied into a different molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid). More specifically, it becomes messenger RNA, or mRNA.

mRNA is like a photocopy of the gene — it carries the instructions out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, the jelly-like area outside the nucleus where the rest of the cell’s work happens.

This process is called DNA replication, which happens inside the nucleus.

nucleus and into the cytoplasm, the jelly-like area outside the nucleus where the rest of the cell’s work happens.

it gets help from another type of RNA called transfer RNA, or tRNA. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid (the building blocks of proteins) and has a special three-letter code called an anticodon.
