DNA, like that seen in the end of the video, is comprised of four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine). Adenine is always paired with thymine and guanine with cytosine, this is called base pairing. The process by which DNA copies itself is called Replication and it takes place in the nuclelus (when the wheat germ was mixed with the detergent this is where the DNA strands come from). Transcription, the second step of information flow in which a part of a DNA molecule is transcribed to RNA. The final step occurs on the ribosome, where the RNA is "translated" into a strand of amino acids.

Nice job guys :)

I have a question... what do you mean by linked nitrogenous bases?
