Why is DNA called the blueprint of life?

<span>Because DNA contains the genes that instruct the cells in how to build proteins. The genetic codes are the blueprints for each protein, and proteins control all biochemical reactions in the cell (as enzymes) and also form the structure of the cell, which becomes the structure of the entire organism. Without knowing how to build proteins, higher organisms would never have evolved.</span>

I think the answer is 90%. According to the recent National institute of Health, Microbes in the human body estimates that 90% of the cells in human body are bacterial, fungal, or otherwise non-human. Despite the arguments that bacteria enjoys a commensal relationship with the humans hosts, only a fraction of the human microbia has been characterized.

The OH on the lower right of lysine and the H on the lower left of valine combine to form a molecule of water (H2O) and detach in a process known as a dehydration reaction when the two amino acids bond. The C on the right side of lysine then single bonds with the N on the left side of valine. This bond is termed a peptide bond. All the other bonds remain unchanged.
