Summary/Abstract: DNA information linked to its coding, regulatory and structural regions and their connection with biological structures and functions are discussed, as well as the organization levels, namely molecular, organellar, cellular, tissular, organic, and organismic, which realize this information. Furthermore, the role of DNA in changes during human growth and development is reviewed. The direct or indirect connection of emotions, motivations, habits, character, personal worldview and behaviour with DNA is also commented on. Finally, the determinism of personal choice or its lack, and the influence of drug abuse and psychological dependencies are discussed.
