Isn't it that spiral thing with two strings of beads? The strings are chromosomes? I think the beads were labeled with A, G, P, or T, right? Well you said no cheating so I try to remember what the letters stand for. A for adenin, G for guanin, P for petamin, and T for tiamin? I'm 100% sure the spellings are wrong but that's how [I think] I remember pronouncing them. I'm just guessing, OK?! Please don't mock me!
Also I remember chromosomes of type X and Y that somehow determine your gender?
[I'm gonna watch a YouTube video about DNA! I just realized I don't know anything about it.]
not cheating
it stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. it's a really long molecule. it's all bundled up in the cell but it's about 6 feet long in humans if you were to unravel it. every cell of every animal, plant and bacteria has one of this molecule. it's in the shape of a double helix. when a cell divides this molecule is copied. when a zygote is created from two parents, some of the DNA information comes from one parent and some comes from the other. it contains all the information that defines how the organism is made up. it's more specifically i think it just encodes what proteins are made? it has means of error correction. it contains, umm, i think 46(??) chromosones in 23 pairs. one of the pairs is special and specific to the person's gender. an X and an X for females, an X and a Y for males. the chromosones are made of codons, which are small groups of base pairs of molecules. one base goes in one helix and is connected to the other base in the other helix. the bases are adenine, guanine, and i forget the other two. there's about 4 billion bytes of information in a single human DNA strand. i think before the DNA codes for proteins it's converted into RNA which actually does the encoding. most of the DNA information is called 'junk DNA' because it's suspected to made of up information that's not used, but we're not really sure whether it has a purpose or not. we have 99% of our DNA in common with our closest relative and 50% in common with bacteria. i'd know a lot more about DNA if my memory weren't so bad. there's probably more facts that I know about it if I thought longer.
Dysoxyiou Nuclear Acid is very small.

/Dyno??? Nuclayic/ Acid ??? It's a curved ladder like shape (double Helix)? made up of cells(? connected spheres, or that's how it's represented anyway). It holds directions for for how to make organisms(?) their cells(?) their offspring(?) most of it is "fixed"(???) some portions are not(???) It was discovered by Crick and Watson(?)
The farthest I got was "fills the requirement" biology, much of which was promptly forgotten.
D Nuclear Acid is some whacky long molecule I can't remember the proper name of that lives in the nucleus of a cell organism.
It's got 4 different kind of smaller basic molecules that pair up to each other with some certain rules, they are abbreviated by letters and are easy to remember because GCAT s are cute. They are basically little magnetzed legos but acktschually not since there are two pairs that only sick to themselves.
Each letter can stick on a long stringy boi so they don't stick together to themselves, which is called an RNA and easier to remember since ribbon is easier to pronounce.
When two long stringy bois with letters that happen to complement each other they zip up to form a long double stringy boi, but because long things tend to curl up in your pocket they think "fuck that imma do it properly" and wrap themselves into chromosomes.
This is great because there so happens to be other molecules that might not be long, but may be extremely wrinkly that want to see what's written in these ancient texts, because just like computers these are bumbling idiots who can't remember a thing. They know how to zip zoom through a long boi string and do things depending what's written, like a recipe. If it happens that the wrinkly boy can cook up something amazing. With the power of friendship, these can produce exactly what other wrinkly boys might need, be it building blocks that build more of them or just something as simple as copying, sharing and filing recipes.

It basically is a tiny Pandora's box. ;-)
deoxybdsacf;bkdcsd acid, it contains the 'blueprint' that makes you you, like the instructions that get copied from parents to offspring. Um, it's a double helix shape? It exists within the nuclei of cells? I will DM you an address to send my honorary PhD in microbiology or whatever, please and thank you
