Question

Give the full explaination about DNA???

Answer 1

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning andreproductionof all known livingorganismsand manyviruses. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids; alongsideproteins,lipidsand complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types ofmacromoleculesthat are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of twobiopolymerstrands coiled around each other to form adouble helix.

Medical Definition of DNA

1/2

DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid. One of two types of molecules that encode genetic information. (The other is RNA. In humans DNA is the genetic material; RNA is transcribed from it. In some other organisms, RNA is the genetic material and, in reverse fashion, the DNA is transcribed from it.)

DNA is a double-stranded molecule held together by weak hydrogen bonds between base pairs of nucleotides. The molecule forms a double helix in which two strands of DNA spiral about one other. The double helix looks something like an immensely long ladder twisted into a helix, or coil. The sides of the "ladder" are formed by a backbone of sugar and phosphate molecules, and the "rungs" consist of nucleotide bases joined weakly in the middle by the hydrogen bonds.

There are four nucleotides in DNA. Each nucleotide contains a base: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or thymine (T). Base pairs form naturally only between A and T and between G and C so the base sequenceof each single strand of DNA can be simply deduced from that of its partner strand.

hope it'll help you dear....
