Definition: The part of a living being that carries genetic information.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
You’ve heard the word “DNA,” it’s quite a key,
To understanding life for you and me.
The dictionary says, with words so bright,
“It carries genetic information, day and night!”
Let's break that down, nice and slow,
So the meaning really starts to grow.
D
stands for
Deoxyribose
, a sugar sweet,
A building block, you’ll surely meet!
N
represents
Nucleic Acid
, it’s true,
Like instructions written just for you.
And
A
is for
Adenine
, Thymine too,
These letters code what we all pursue –
Your eye color, height, and even your hair,
All secrets held within, beyond compare!
So DNA, it’s a twisted chain,
Holding blueprints again and again.
It's the recipe for you, don't you see?
A marvelous code, uniquely free!
Do you have any questions, my dear students bright?
