How DNA works isn't like a sound bite on Entertainment Tonight.  It TAKES long, long paragraphs.

Answer 2

DNA is an ideal molecule to transfer genetic messages to every cell of your body. When an egg and sperm met to form the first cell that was to become you, you were given the complete genetic code that all of your cells will use for rest of your life.

In that first cell, half of the chromosomes (half of the DNA molecules) came from your father and the other half came from your mother.

That first cell divided to become two cells, these both divided to become four, then eight then 16 and so on. Some of the cells in your body are still dividing, for example to produce new skin or blood cells. Most of the time a cell divides perfectly and each of the DNA molecules is copied exactly, with one copy going to each of the new cells.
