Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The genetic material of all the living organism is the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) except for some bacteria and viruses. All the eukaryotes, as well as the prokaryotes, have defined a set of DNA sequences, which is inherited from one generation to another. In eukaryotes DNA is organized in nucleus of the cell.
