We are all made of trillions of cells, and each cell as a job to do, like detecting light, sensing touch, carry oxygen, digest food… there are over 200 different jobs just in your own body alone for cells to do! DNA are the instructions that tell cells what their job is.

There are so many combinations that we can’t really tell you what would happen. Keep in mind that A,C,G and T represent compounds called nucleobases. For instance A stands for adenine. The three others are guanine, cytosine and thymine. These nucleobases pair up in specific ways via chemical bonds.
What would happen if A went to G and T went to see and likewise?
DNA is just the information. You can think of DNA molecules as books written in code. Other parts inside the cell know how to read this “book” and gather the information needed.
What tells the DNA what to do? It seems like the DNA has the biggest job of all. Wouldn’t it need something to tell it what to do to?
