These complex structures, consisting of DNA and proteins, contain the basic units of heredity, called genes. The number of chromosomes (and genes) varies with each species. Human body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes having 20,000–40,000 different genes.

The synthesis of proteins - most of which are enzymes - ultimately governs the metabolic activities of the cell.

When DNA winds into a double helix through base-pairs between AT and GC, hydrogen bond donors (amide H's) and acceptors (O's) on the bases that are not used in intrastrand base pairing are still available in the major and minor grove of the ds-DNA helix (see Jmol below).
