What is DNA?
https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/basics/dna
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.
The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences.
DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.
An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.
How a DNA can store and/or transfer data as big as a library to the organism?
Discussion
As you can see DNA has carry whole characteristic data of body and transfer to another body. However it is smaller than a cell. Stores a huge data in it. If this is the case than let's discuss how could it be.
As fas as we know brain can store data and recall when it is necessary. So We can understand what we see, what we smell and what we hear. And what we touch. Also brain can store memories, learnt data and it can recall for long and short term data. But DNA is located in the cell nucleus and it stores more data rather than we store in our brains. This is very interesting point. Because if we don't have DNA data of our parents than we can not be a human or even species know to breath when we were born and can not know to respond nursing of our mothers for milk. Even can not walk and do not have libms and organs to live. This is very complicated area.
DNA can give us abilites to live but can not generate our character. Is that right? We know environment is playing the main role generating our character however if we don't have a "software" underneath of a "layer" in the brain than we were not able to read and understand environmental impulses. So?
DNA should have two layers. Deep layer should give whole body properties and upper layer should give ability (a sort of software)to interact with environment.
Well, if we come back to the first question. How a DNA stores a huge data? Is that possible? Yes, it is possible and even true! But how?
In this case I can offer a hypothesis which may help to explain this complexity.
We must turn our face and understanding to partical physics. We know everything in universe made of atoms, electrons. If we go deeper than we find quarks. However we don't know how quarks have energy. But they have energy. So may be energy has subenergy. If we go through from DNA to partical physics than we can say data should have been recorded in subatomic level. And get the required energy from subenergetic level. This idea leads us to quantum field.
If this is correct than DNA interact with Quantum field to get the data it is required. This data should be same for all species and matter. So there should a key to identify if it is matter or species. Well, once we smell than the keys of smells (chemical compounds) connect to the sensors in our nose with a specific shape. This means one nose sensor can connect (combine) with a specific shape of smell (chemical compound). So I am coming from this point to the Quantum field correction and connection idea.
If this is correct than we can assume that DNA and Quantum field connection may have dual ways. Which means read and write. So, again we can assume the data in our brain may have a backup in DNA.
Woow.. too much.
Well, if this is the case than any lived organism has a backup data of its own life in its DNA. This means if we can find a way to revive a dead organism from a DNA than there might be possible to reload memories and data back to its brain.
Sorry. Too complicated.
