DNA stores hereditary information as a specific sequence of nucleotide bases (A, T, C, G) that encodes the instructions for making RNAs and proteins. Its double‑helix structure with complementary base pairing allows accurate replication, so the same genetic information is copied and passed to daughter cells and offspring. During gene expression DNA is transcribed into RNA and translated into proteins that produce traits; changes (mutations) in DNA sequence can alter those traits and create biological variation.
