Solution

DNA:

  1. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer made of two polynucleotide chains that coil around one another to form a double helix and which contains the genetic material necessary for all known beings to evolve, function, grow, and reproduce, including numerous viruses.
  2. Nucleic acids include DNA and ribonucleic acid.
  3. The genetic makeup of every human being is 99.9% the same.
  4. Differences in the 0.1 percent that is left can reveal crucial information about the origins of diseases.
  5. All species of life descended from a single common ancestor.
  6. As a result, the chemicals created from these genes operate similarly in humans, animals, and other creatures.
