DNA is the blueprint of life that is found in almost all cells in the human body except red blood cells. It is comprised of four building blocks called bases - cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine. DNA can be extracted from many samples including blood, saliva, hair, skin cells, and others to determine a person's genetic makeup through analysis. If unraveled, a single human cell's DNA strand would reach over 6 feet in length and the total DNA in a human body stretched out could circle the moon over 6000 times.

5. FUN FACTS ABOUT DNA:
 The only cells in the human body that does not contain
DNA is the red blood cells.
 If we were to untangled a human’s DNA it would reach to
the moon and back six thousand times.
 One cell alone averages 6-9 feet in length.
 All humans share 99 percent of their DNA sequence, It’s
the 1 ten percent that makes us who we are.
 98 percent of our DNA matches a chimpanzee and 50
percent of our DNA matches a banana.
