Are two atoms of the same element identical?

No, any two atoms of the same element are not the same. Just like people, no two people are EXACTLY the same. For example these two atoms of the same element could differ in the number of neutrons that they hold within their nucleus and still be considered the same element. Generally speaking, no two atoms are ever EXACTLY the same.

What is intelligence?

This is definitely one of psychology’s biggest questions. There is no one, set definition that psychologists generally agree upon nor is there even now one clear-cut way to measure it. However, psychologists seem to be coming to an understanding that intelligence is more than just academic knowledge and that any good definition of intelligence must include practical knowledge (street smarts), understanding of others, and self-understanding. Diversity of intelligence can extend well beyond the classroom and can enrich our lives, and the lives of others, in important ways.

Why does nearly every cell in our body contain DNA?

Nearly all cells in our body contain an instruction manual called DNA. This instruction manual is essential in allowing our cells to function and replicate. In order for our bodies to continue living, we need our cells to function and replicate correctly. Without DNA, these essential processes would not take place.
