Watson and Crick claimed that DNA is made of two chains of nucleotides joined together by the nitrogen bases. The bases hold the two nucleotides together because they are complementary of each othe

As you can see, DNA technology is one of the most important things studied today. It can be used to do good things and bad things also. I just hope that our scientists have enough common sense not to get tangled up in the bad things such as cloning and other applications that may be capable of doing in future times.

There are many arguments on how far science should be allowed to take DNA technology. Some say we should try to clone a human being, and some say it is not right to do it because it is playing God. That is really the way I feel about it. I believe that humans have souls. If we cloned someone, would his or her clone have a soul? That is where you get into a wide variety of opinions. To me, it just seems better to be safe than sorry. If it were meant for each of us to have a clone, they would be born with one.

DNA has two specific functions. It provides for protein synthesis and for th
