All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins, which carry out most of the work of cells.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (Original Project) and other key ideas
RH011002	Brain cells and skin cells contain the same genetic information.
RH045001	DNA molecules are found in humans, dogs, and trees.
RH047001	In sexually reproducing organisms such as humans, 50% of the DNA in each of the daughter's body cells is from her father.
RH048001	100% of a son's body cells contain some DNA from his mother.
RH055001	In sexually reproducing organisms such as humans, half of a child's DNA comes from each of the parents.
RH058001	Children inherit half of the DNA in each of their cells from one parent, and half from the other parent.
RH019002	The way DNA and proteins are related is that DNA provides information for making proteins.
RH042002	A code indicates which smaller subunits get linked together to form proteins in an organism.
RH037002	To make proteins in its cells, an animal needs amino acids and instructions for assembling them.
