It is responsible for synthesizing the functional units of our body (proteins) and regulating the expression of genes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">It also serves as the <b>primary unit of inheritance in all living beings<\/b>.  In other words, every time an organism reproduces, a portion of its DNA is passed on to its offspring. This total or partial transmission of an organism's DNA helps ensure a certain level of continuity from one generation to the next, while allowing slightly changes that <b>contribute to the diversity of life, the adaptation of species, and their evolution<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DNA structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And you may wonder, how is it possible that a cell (not visible for the human eye) can storage more than 3,000 million letters that are equivalent to 2 meters in length?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">This is possible thanks to the compaction in which DNA and its complex structure are found. <b>DNA consists of different levels of condensation<\/b> being de lower to higher:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nucleotide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">DNA is composed of a linear sequence of nucleotides, which are the structural units of the DNA molecule. Each nucleotide is <b>composed of a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group and a five-carbon sugar<\/b> (deoxyribose). The nitrogenous base can be adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"390\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/adntro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2.png\" alt=\"Nucleotide - DNA Structure\" class=\"wp-image-9641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adntro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2.png 390w, https:\/\/adntro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/adntro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2-10x12.png 10w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DNA double helix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">The DNA molecule is a <b>double helix, in which two strands of nucleotides are wound together to form a spiral structure<\/b>.
