DNA is deoxynbo nucleic acid The major function of DNA is to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code. To read the genetic code, cells make a copy of a stretch of DNA in the nucleic acid RNA.

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and floats around in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. DNA produces blueprints which RNA carry out to ribosomes to code for protein. You can say that DNA passes genetic material through generations.

Water at about 4°C (39°F) is more dense than water at 0°C (32°F). Why would the living organisms in the lake die if the water at
9966 [12]
The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>
