The human body’s genetic information is encoded in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) found in the cell nucleus. DNA carries the instructions for the development, growth, functioning, and reproduction of the human body. The information in DNA is organized into genes, which determine traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases. The unique combination of genes inherited from both parents contributes to individual genetic variability. Advances in molecular biology have allowed scientists to explore and understand the intricate mechanisms by which genes control various biological processes.
