Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, as it is known by its English-language acronym, is the molecule in human beings and other creatures “that make[s] each species unique.” DNA, “along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction”; it determines exactly which physical characteristics the offspring of reproducing human beings will display.
