Expert Solution
Step 1: DNA

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a genetic material that transfers genetic information from one organism to its offspring. DNA is located in the nucleus and mitochondria. The information in DNA is stored as code (made up of A, G, C, T).  99% of bases are the same. The order of bases determines the individuality.
