#SciRiddles 3 - The reveal

Though confined it moves a lot. Made by two sisters, diversified by its brother. Short or long but always constricted. Entwined like spaghetti, compact like a rod.

Did you guess? It's a CHROMOSOME.
Nearly every human cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Twenty two pairs (1-22) are autosomes and one pair constitutes the sex chromosomes (X or Y; an XX pair for females, an XY pair for males). Half of the 46 will be transmitted to children by each parent.

#SciRiddles 4

Sweet&sour backbone. Encrypted information in rings and bonds. Opening up to multiply though half of it still lingering. Holding in its steps the information of what you are.

Did you guess? It's DNA!

DNA has a sugar-phosphate backbone shaped like a spiral ladder, whose steps hold an *encrypted* ACGT *code* about us.
DNA segments can be coding (genes) or non-coding and the entire set is called a genome.

B letter. A priority. All in or all out. See, smell, hear, taste, and touch all. Confined but also spread out. Grey but also white.

Guessed it?
