• DNA is like an alphabet, with only 4 letters, A, C, G, T. But oh boy, the words it can spell!
• A sequence of 1 base has 4 possibilities (A, C, G, T). Think of it like a 4-sided dice.
• 2 bases? 16 possibilities (like AA, AG, etc.). Now, we've got a language happening!
• 3 bases? 64 possibilities (like AAA, AAG, etc.). That's like a mini-library!
• With just 10 bases, over a million possibilities exist. That's more than the number of different types of pizzas you can create with various toppings!
• DNA molecules can be any length, making the combinations virtually limitless. Like an endless bookshelf!

Real-World Example: Imagine having a LEGO set with only four types of blocks but in an infinite number, and you can make anything you want! 🧱

• DNA's diameter: just 2 nanometers. It's like a microscopic spaghetti strand!
• It's incredibly economical, fitting immense lengths in tiny spaces.
• Compared to human-made data storage (like hard drives), DNA's a budget superstar!

Real-World Example: DNA storage is like fitting all the movies ever made into a thimble! 🎬
