DNA - Chalk Talk

DNA is a biological molecule containing genetic instructions for living organisms. It is structured as a double helix with complementary strands of nucleotides, where A pairs with T and C pairs with G. DNA not only serves as a blueprint for life but also records historical mutations, helping researchers trace evolutionary relationships. Its unique structure allows for the design of self-assembling nanostructures and innovative computing solutions.
