This is a table of the chemical elements arranged in order by atomic number so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns.
While cells are known as the "building blocks of life", this material is known as the "blueprint of life". It is shaped like a double helix, found inside the nucleus, and it allows important characteristics to replicate and be passed on to the next generation.
