Q19: What do you Mean by Genetic Code of Life
Ans: DNA is the permanent storage place for genetic information in the nucleus of a cell. It carries and stores all genetic information of the cell. It passes these information as instructions from generation to generation how to synthesize particular proteins from amino acids. These instructions are “Genetic Code of Life”. 

Q20: What is the Function of DNA? 
Ans: The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines the proteins development in new cells. The function of the double helix formation of DNA is to ensure that no disorder takes place. DNA carries genes that controls the synthesis of RNA.
