- Every organism is made up of cells containing a genome that has all of the genetic information that determines its characteristics.
- During reproduction, the next generation gets half of its genetic information or genes from one parent, half from the other.
- The genome and genes are written in a chemical language called DNA, which is made up of individual chemical units abbreviated with A, C, G and T.
- DNA is present in the cells of any organism, including foods like fruits, vegetables, cereals, meat, eggs, and fish.
