DNA simply: the recipe in every cell, sentence 9
Many basic recipes in cells, such as how to use energy, are shared by all life, so a person shares many genes with a banana in a broad sense; the numbers you hear are rough and often misused.
Who acts: life, person, you, numbers · What happens: use, share, hear, be, misuse · To what, where: Many basic recipes, many genes, broad sense, numbers
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 (life, person, you, numbers), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
