DNA is the building block of life. All living organisms have DNA, which is the set of instructions required to build and maintain an organism.
DNA can be read by cell machinery to produce proteins. Proteins are an extremely diverse substance, vital for a range of bodily functions.
Genes are the term for the unit of DNA that can be inherited by offspring. The expression of genes can be influenced by different factors.
