Learn the basics of DNA. DNA is the universal molecule of heredity; it contains all the information a cell needs in order to function. DNA is the code in cells used to make proteins, and proteins carry out all the functions of the cell. If a function is not performed correctly, disease can occur. To understand the biotech industry you must have a basic knowledge of DNA.
