DNA is your genetic code,
the instructions to make
every part of you.
ATCG
Amazingly, the code is made up of
the same four bases repeated over
and over in different patterns.

These four bases are always
found in pairs…
ATCG
TAGC
Adenine (A) always bonds with Thymine (T).
Guanine (G) always bonds with Cytosine (C).
The base pairs form a long ladder …
Identical Cells
DNA stores information to:
1. Make copies of cells
2. Make all the parts of the body
The side of the ladder are made up of alternating
deoxyribose sugar and phosphate molecules
the steps of the ladder are made up of
nitrogenous bases(adenine with thymine and
cytosine with guanine) held together
by hydrogen bonding.
