DNA

DNA is found in every cell in the human body. Shaped like a double helix, it’s a complex code that contains all the information needed to make you you.

Your DNA is inherited from your parents in equal parts. It is responsible for making you look the way you look – and it’s the reason you share certain physical traits with your mother and father
