The DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the carrier of genetic information from all forms of living organisms. This is the main reason of the inheritance of traits, behaviors, attitude, physical appearances, and many more that helped, not just the human being, but all living organisms in the planet to adapt, adjust, evolve, and survive for generations and generations. The DNA is carried by the cells of the living organisms' body and is stored and shared eventually. Though it was discovered that the DNA is a long complicated helix that contains mostly all the information of life, this is stored in the nucleus of a cell because it is folded and condensed together with the other genetic materials.
