How exactly do all those letters in DNA code for making a living thing? The short answer is that the code of letters in DNA is a recipe to make proteins. Proteins form structures, enzymes or other chemicals to create the building blocks of organisms and maintain homeostasis. When a cell needs to make a protein, say the enzyme to digest lactose (the sugar in milk), it needs to use/read the DNA code to make proteins. We call this process protein synthesis. Protein synthesis requires the use of DNA and all three forms of RNA to read the code and make the desired protein. This occurs in two steps:

the scientific method.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
