3 DNA: Spot the difference Here we look at DNA, the molecule which contains the instructions for making each living creature. It is contained within the genes of every individual living thing on Earth. Closely related creatures have DNA that is very similar, and distantly related creatures have DNA that is very different. By looking at how similar or different their DNA molecules are, we can see how closely related two species are. sam_ListenForAudio.vi Next steps Learn Hindi Daily Show – How old are you? – dda – Internal Compulsion
