Our genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This remarkable molecule contains all of the information needed to make a cell and to pass on this information when a cell divides. This chapter describes the structure and properties of DNA molecules, the way in which our DNA is packaged into chromosomes, and how the information stored within DNA is retrieved via the genetic code.
