but the dna itself is made of proteins which can't do anything on their own. but i also believe dna is fundamental. i believe the meaning of life is to pass information (DNA) to further generations and to adapt to the surroundings.
DNA is not made of proteins.
yes true, they are made of nucleic acids, but they still are made out of "unalive" matter...
so this means fruits are alive, plants are alive, etc.
Of course they are.
