Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.

Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix.

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy.

Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field, composed of many .

However, despite the broad scope of biology, there are certain unifying concepts within it that consolidate it into single, coherent field.

In general, biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation of new species.

It is also understood today that all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy and by regulating their internal environment to maintain a stable and vital condition known as homeostasis.

Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as .

Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.

The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential artificial life as "living".

Biology is the primary science concerned with the study of life, although many other sciences are involved.

Exploration is the act of for the purpose of discovery of information or resources.

Exploration occurs in all non-sessile animal species, including humans.

In human history, its most dramatic rise was during the Age of Discovery when European explorers sailed and charted much of the rest of the world for a variety of reasons.

Since then, major explorations after the Age of Discovery have occurred for reasons mostly aimed at information discovery.
