About Bacteria
Bacteria are single celled organisms found in every habitat on Earth, growing in soil, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, water, and deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals. Some bacteria cause disease but others are essential to the human body. For example, bacteria in the digestion system, help in the healthful digestion of food. Sometimes trying to get bacteria out of one place in your body can cause problems in another.
About DNA
DNA is the source of our genetic material, and plays a central role in transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
About Sex
Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms attempt to form offspring by combining genetic traits from both parents. The process is usually pleasurable and physical. Sex is also a term used to describe whether a person or animal is male or female.
