The three traits possessed by me that are dictated by my DNA have to be named.

Concept Introduction:

DNA:

DNA is a self-replicating genetic material that is present in all living organisms. It carries genetic information from one generation to the several successive generations which brings several physical traits in an individual as a sign of resemblance from his/her parents and ancestors. Those traits are the uniqueness to the individual.
