Colorado Science Standard
1. DNA codes for the complex hierarchical organization of systems that enable life's functions.
Systems of specialized cells within organisms help them perform the essential functions of life. All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins, which carry out most of the work of cells.
