The video uses a library analogy to explain DNA's role in cells. DNA is a large molecule made of nucleotides, forming a double helix structure. It acts as an instruction manual for protein synthesis, with mRNA serving as a messenger to ribosomes, where proteins are built. The human genome consists of 3 billion bases, with 99% similarity among individuals. Ongoing research in DNA and genetic engineering holds potential for future scientific advancements.
