The DNA blueprint, found in the chromosomes that transmit hereditary characteristics, carries descriptions and coded instructions for each person’s development.
Uyilo lweDNA, olufumaneka kwimisontwana (chromosomes) ephakathi kwiiseli ezidlulisela iimpawu zemfuza, inenkcazelo nemiyalelo ecwangcisiweyo yokukhula komntu ngamnye.

How much information is stored in DNA?
Ingakanani inkcazelo eba kwiDNA?

Watson and Crick built on the work of earlier researchers into DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. —See the box “DNA— Key Dates.”

Each of your cells contains tens of thousands of genes, and each gene is part of a long chain made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Seli nganye yakho inamawaka emizila yemfuza, ibe mzila ngamnye uyinxalenye yodederhu lweDNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Compare the storage capacity of one gram of DNA with that of a compact disc (CD).
Makhe sithelekise inkcazelo equlathwa yigram yeDNA kunye naleyo ikwiCD.

“Itshintsha” iDNA ekwiseli ukuze yenze iintsholongwane ezininzi zeHIV.

“If written out,” it is said, the instructions within the DNA “would fill a thousand 600-page books.”
Kuthiwa: “Ukuba imiyalelo ekwiDNA ibinokubhalwa phantsi, ibiya kuzalisa iincwadi eziliwaka ezinamaphepha angama-600.”

Inside each of those cells is a tiny ropelike structure known as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Kwiseli nganye kukho iDNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Is it reasonable to propose that the highly complex information in DNA sprang from nothing?
Ngaba ke kusengqiqweni ukuthi iinkcukacha ezikwiDNA zisuke nje zabakho?

Researchers studying people from different continents have found that the differences in DNA between any two randomly chosen individuals from virtually anywhere in the world amounted to about 0.5 percent.
Abaphengululi baye bathabatha abantu bamazwekazi awahlukahlukeneyo, bethelekisa iiDNA zabantu ababini ngexesha, yaye bafumanisa ukuba umahluko umalunga ne-0,5 ekhulwini.

1869 Chemist Friedrich Miescher identified what we now call deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
Ngo-1869 USomachiza uFriedrich Miescher wafumanisa ukuba kukho into ekuthiwa yiDNA.

It must change its own RNA into DNA so that it can be read and understood by the host cell’s machinery.
Ukuze ikwazi ukusebenza kuloo seli, imele iguqule iRNA yayo ibonakale ngathi yiDNA.

Thus, we should not be surprised by the following statements: “The brain,” said molecular biologist James Watson, codiscoverer of the physical structure of DNA, “is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.”
Ngaloo ndlela, asifanele sothuswe ngala magqabaza alandelayo: “Ubuchopho,” ngokutsho kwesinye isazinzulu ngebhayoloji yemolekyuli uJames Watson, esafumanisa i-DNA, “buyeyona nto intsonkothileyo esisayifumeneyo kummandla wethu wendalo.”

The molecules that make up the epigenome look nothing like DNA.
Iimolekyuli ezakha iepigenome zahlukile kwezeDNA.

Stretched out, the DNA in one cell of your body is about six feet (2 m) long.
Xa yoluliwe, i-DNA ekwiseli yomzimba wakho enye imalunga neemitha ezimbini ubude.

DNA is the genetic material of all cellular organisms and the molecular basis for heredity.
IDNA ilichiza eliba kwiiseli nakwiimolekyuli elilawula imfuza.

Although DNA is much more complex, it could be compared to the digital information embedded on a DVD.
Nangona iDNA le ineenkcukacha ezininzi gqitha, inokufaniswa nenkcazelo engamanani ekwiDVD.

At that uniting, the plans were drawn up within the DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) of that newly formed cell to produce what eventually became you —an entirely new and unique human.
Koko kudibana, kwazotywa iiplani kwi-DNA (isishunqulelo sika-deoxyribonucleic acid) zaloo seli esandul’ ukwenziwa ukuze ivelise oko kwathi kwaba nguwe ekugqibeleni—umntu omtsha nowahluke ngokupheleleyo.

He was freed when DNA tests —not available at the time of his conviction— proved his innocence.
Wakhululwa emva kokuba uhlolisiso lweDNA—olwalungekho ngexesha lokubanjwa kwakhe—lungqine ukuba umsulwa.

To attribute the complex library of information in DNA to blind, unguided processes conflicts with both reason and human experience.
Ukuthi inkcazelo entsonkothileyo efumaneka kwi-DNA yabakho ngamabonandenzile, akukho ngqiqweni yaye kuyaphikisana namava abanawo ngobomi abantu.

Tomatoes, grapefruits, and watermelons are rich in lycopenes—antioxidants that help prevent damage to DNA and may help lower prostate cancer risk.
Iitumato, iimbambusi (grapefruit), nevatala zinelycopene eninzi—ichiza eliyiantioxidant elinceda ekuthinteleni ukonakala kweDNA yaye lisenokunceda ukunciphisa amathuba okufumana umhlaza wedlala lesinyi.

The Storage Capacity of DNA
IDNA Enokugcina Inkcazelo Eninzi Kakhulu

DNA is like a microscopic book that contains precise instructions for intelligent life
IDNA ifana nencwadi enokufundwa ngemikroskopu eneenkcukacha ngezidalwa ezikrelekrele

At this point, it is fair to ask whether anyone has found, in the strict molecular sense of locating and manipulating, any stretches of DNA that affect specific behaviors predictably.”
Kule nkalo, kufanelekile ukubuza enoba ukho umntu oye wasebenzisa indlela engqongqo yeemolekyuli yokukhangela nokuguqula, waza wafumana nayiphi na iminxeba yeDNA echaphazela imikhwa ethile yabantu.”
