Main function of two types of Nucleic acids
•DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
•Stores genetic information that is essential for all cellular activities
•RNA (ribonucleic acid)•Protein synthesis
(making new
proteins)

Where is DNA located in cells? of
Eukaryotic cellsHave DNA inTheir nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells DNA is loose in the cytoplasm

•We recycle the DNA in foods we eat. It is broken down into its basic parts and reused, like legos.
•DNA is easy to extract from non-cooked foods
All living things have DNA

DNA can be extracted from unprocessed foods.

• A section of DNAthat codes for a specific Protein.
• There is a different code for each protein (which amino acids are used and in what order)
• Proteins determine traits like eye color or shape of ear•Genes can be copied

Do all living organisms have DNA?
yes
