'''DNA''', otherwise known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is a [[molecule]]. Its shape is known as a double helix (a shape like a ladder that is continuously twisted). It carries the [[genetic]] coding for the proteins that form the bodies of living organisms. All living creatures contain DNA, and the DNA of two (sexually reproducing) creatures' offspring is a mix of its parents' DNA.
