DNA simply: the recipe in every cell, sentence 5
DNA is a long molecule shaped like a twisted ladder, found in almost every cell; the order of its rungs is a recipe for building and running a body.
Who acts: DNA, order, recipe · What happens: be, shape, find, build, run, order · To what, where: long molecule, cell, recipe, body, rungs
This is a sentence of the lesson «DNA simply: the recipe in every cell» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (DNA, order, recipe), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
