Nucleic acids are molecules that are essential to, and characteristic of, life on Earth. There are two basic types of nucleic acid, DNA (oligonucleotide acid) and RNA (nucleic acid). This exercise will focus on DNA, although ways in which it differs from RNA will also be presented. DNA is found in all organisms from the smallest bacteria to humans. DNA has the same composition and structure in all organisms!DNA has two important functions.1 - it is the genetic material that is passed from one generation to the next.2 - it is the coded information that tells cells how to make proteins.

What are your thoughts about how the universe formed?
V125BC [204]

 For centuries scientists thought the Universe always existed in a largely unchanged form, run like clockwork thanks to the laws of physics. But a Belgian priest and scientist called George Lemaitre put forward another idea. In 1927, he proposed that the Universe began as a large, pregnant and primeval atom, exploding and sending out the smaller atoms that we see today.

His idea went largely unnoticed. But in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe isn’t static but is in fact expanding. If so, some scientists reasoned that if you rewound the Universe's life then at some point it should have existed as a tiny, dense point. Critics dismissed this: the celebrated astronomer Fred Hoyle sarcastically called this concept the “Big Bang Theory"
