    Because DNA contains the genes that instruct the cells in how to build proteins. The genetic codes are the blueprints for each protein, and proteins control all biochemical reactions in the cell (as enzymes) and also form the structure of the cell, which becomes the structure of the entire organism. Without knowing how to build proteins, higher organisms would never have evolved.
