DNA

Today is Science Solutions Tuesday. In this blog, I will be describing DNA, and what it looks like. DNA is what we are currently learning in Mrs. Poole's science class. DNA is like a blueprint, of who you are. It is the shape of a double helix. It almost looks like a twisted ladder. DNA was mainly discovered by Rosalind Franklin, but other scientest had helped too. DNA is a really interesting thing to look at. Every living thing has cells, and DNA. DNA consists of bases, phosphates, and sugars. When DNA replicates it splits down the middle. From that same strand of DNA, there is always another identical pair inside it. When the DNA replicates the other strand is the same exact kind as the one before. Simply without DNA, no life is possible.

In summary, without DNA, there is no life. As I explained above, all living things have to have some form of DNA, within themselfs,in order to survive. As you may recall, there is DNA in animals, plants, and humans. Life is a miracle, in more so in humans, becuase we are able to survive, and specificly, a gift for humans on this earth. Also, in reading previous articles, not only do we need DNA, we also need RNA, to form life.
