    Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) is a polynucleotide molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Most DNA molecules are double stranded helices, consisting of two polynucleotide strands made up of simpler molecules known as nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of an organic nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups. It is order of these bases which make up the genetic code; a set of rules, by which information is encoded within genetic material.…

    Describe the structure of DNA.DNA is thread formed by two strands, related together to form a double helix. The double helix looks like a twisted ladder. The sides of this ladder are long unites called nucleotides and are made of three parts; a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. The sides of the ladder or the nucleotides from the two separate strands of the DNA are attached by an appendage made of one of four separate bases. These appendages represent the rungs of the DNA ladder and are attached to the complimentary strand of the DNA. The bases or rungs are made of either Adenine (A) OR Thymine (T) or Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The attachment of the strands by the bases is specific Adenine can only join with Thymine, and Cytosine can only join with Guanine. Since this base pairing is specific, if one knows the sequence of bases a long one strand of the DNA one will also know the strand of the DNA one will also know the sequence along the complimentary strand.…

    DNA is a nucleic acid, which consist of long chains (polymers) of chemical units (monomers) called nucleotide. A molecule of DNA contains two polynucleotides, each a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. Each DNA strand serves as a mold, or template, to guide reproduction of the other strand. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA, differing only in the nitrogenous base. DNA is contained in blood, semen, skin cells, tissue, organs, muscle, brain cells, bone, teeth, hair, saliva, mucus, perspiration, fingernails, urine, feces, etc. The four nucleotides are given one letter abbreviations as shorthand for the four bases: A is for adenine, G is for guanine, C is for cytosine, and T is for thymine.…

    Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic information used in the development and function of all known living organisms and some viruses. It is a major macromolecule that is essential for all known forms of life. Knowing this, several groups of scientists raced to find out how this essential molecule was structured. In an attempt to answer this question, James Watson and Francis Crick got together at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England to experiment and record research on DNA. Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins (not together) also joined the race at King’s College in London. All four scientists were studying and experimenting on DNA.…
