12. What does DNA do

13. Gives instructions to the cell

14. What was the name of the project that discovered the number and sequence of the chromosomes

15. Human Genome project

16. Who discovered DNA and what did he use

17. Dr. Mendel & pea plants

18. What does DNA Stand for

19. Deoxyribonucleic acid

20. What does tRNA do
