Answer:

The structure of DNA and RNA. DNA is a double helix, while RNA is a single helix. Both have sets of nucleotides that contain genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce.

&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;</p><p>&lt;html&gt;</p><p>&lt;body style="background-color:powderblue;"&gt;</p><p></p><p>&lt;h1&gt;funtion and  structure&lt;/h1&gt;</p><p></p><p>&lt;p&gt;Biologists in the 1940s had difficulty in accepting DNA as the genetic material because of the apparent simplicity of its chemistry. DNA was known to be a long polymer composed of only four types of subunits, which resemble one another chemically. Early in the 1950s, DNA was first examined by x-ray diffraction analysis, a technique for determining the three-dimensional atomic structure of a molecule (discussed in Chapter 8). The early x-ray diffraction results indicated that DNA was composed of two strands of the polymer wound into a helix. The observation that DNA was double-stranded was of crucial significance and provided one of the major clues that led to the Watson-Crick structure of DNA. Only when this model was proposed did DNA's potential for replication and information encoding become apparent. In this section we examine the structure of the DNA molecule and explain in general terms how it is able to store hereditary information. &lt;/p&gt;</p><p></p><p>&lt;/body&gt;</p><p>&lt;/html&gt;</p><p>
