Question

Write a summary of the structure of DNA that (at least) includes the terms: base, sugar, phosphate, nucleotide, (base) pair, and helix

Answer 1

The deoxyribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid which is made of polymer of sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous bases.

The DNA is the genetic material found in all the eukaryotic organism which is carried from one generation to another generation.

It stores all the genetic information in the form of codes. The structure of DNA is double helical.

The bonds in between the two strands is hydrogen bonds which keeps the two strands together.

Answer 2

We all know that DNA is in the shape of a double helix. It consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugars, and a nitrogen base, which consists of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine ( which together are known as the nucleotides when combined). Nucleotides form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids. Regarding the nitrogen base, the base has what are called base pairs such that Adenine matches thyamine while guanine matches to cytosine.
