DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code. Similar to the way the order of letters in the alphabet can be used to form a word, the order of nitrogen bases in a DNA sequence forms genes<span>, which in the language of the cell, tells cells how to make proteins. Another type of nucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, or RNA, translates genetic information from DNA into proteins.

Flura [38]

The mass of the water does not change. However, the volume varies with temperatures. Water at 4 degrees centigrade occupies the least amount of volume compared to other temperatures. Therefore based on the calculation of D=M/V, then water at 4 degrees centigrade has the highest density.
