GENETIC CODE Hat

GENETIC CODE Hat. ACGT: The Genetic Code. Applicable to ALL generations. It defines ALL generations, past, present and future. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in all humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. A,C,G,T are the four letters of the GENETIC CODE of all humans. Africa is home to the first humans. In a very real sense, all people alive today are Africans. Everyone has the same collection of genes but everyone has slightly different versions of some of them, hence the genetic diversity in the human population.
