Chromosomes,. Chromatin. , and Genes. DNA. . = blueprint of life (has the instructions for making an organism). DNA. DNA is often called the blueprint of life. It contains the instructions for making proteins within the cell. Full name: deoxyribonucleic acid. Why do we study DNA?. It’s central importance to life on earth. By the early 1900’s it was known that the chromosomes carry the genetic (hereditary) information. Chromosomes are made up of DNA (. deoxyribose. nucleic acid).
