deoxyribonucleic acid, or dna for short, is a large biomolecule that is found in every living organism
and is therefore one of the characteristics used by scientists to define life. in a molecule of dna there
are instructions for how to create an organism. you can think of these instructions as a blueprint to
tell the body what proteins to make. dna is also used to help an organism survive and reproduce

1. dna stands for

and is a large biomolecule

1. dna contains instructions or a

for how a body creates proteins

Explanation:

DNA is short for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is a large biomolecule that contains genetic information. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. The instructions in DNA are like a blueprint. These instructions tell the body what proteins to make. Proteins are essential for the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. So, DNA contains instructions or a genetic code for how a body creates proteins.

Answer:

1. Deoxyribonucleic Acid
2. genetic code
