Strawberry DNA


DNA which stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known living things. The DNA in every cell tells it how to work, duplicate, it will also tell us information about the living organism. Your DNA will tell us what you look like and all about your family history. Just like in humans plants also have DNA and that is the DNA we are going to see today. The reason we are using a strawberry is that a strawberry is called an octoploid, this means that for every 1 cell there are 8 strands of DNA.
