DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It’s like a set of instructions that tell your body how to grow and work. Think of it like a recipe for making you!
Inside every cell in your body, there is a tiny tube called a chromosome. Inside each chromosome, there is a long string of letters called DNA. These letters spell out the instructions for making you.
The letters in DNA are called A, C, G, and T. They are like different colored blocks that fit together to make a pattern. Scientists can read the pattern to learn about your body and how it works.
You have DNA in almost every cell in your body, like in your blood, your skin, and even your hair. It makes you special and unique, like a snowflake!
