Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of a cellular form of life or a virus. All known cellular life and some viruses have DNAs. DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides (a polynucleotide) that encodes the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code.

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA holds all the genetic information of the cell. DNA is just passed from one cell to the new cells during the processes of meiosis and mitosis.

Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA comes from bonding of the nucleic acids (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil). The bond forms a double helix.
DNA enable organisms to reproduce their components from one generation to the next. DNA is the genetic material that organisms inherit from their parents.
There is way to much information about DNA to even begin explaining it all, but here are your basic answers.
