Question

physical and chemical properties of DNA????

Answer 1

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is best known for its central role in the encoding, storage, replication, and propagation of genetic information within all known, independently living organisms. However, DNA is also a chemical material that can be produced in industrial quantities by well-developed, synthetic chemistry techniques for a wide variety of biological and nonbiological purposes. As a polymeric material with known nanometer-scale dimensions and well-understood, programmable, molecular recognition capabilities, DNA has become a leading construction material for bottom-up fabrication of nanomaterials with complex structures and functions. This field, known as structural DNA nanotechnology, has recently become a major source of self-assembling, molecularly programmed materials. To fully comprehend the design rules and application potential of DNA-based materials, it is critical for researchers to understand the characteristic properties of DNA itself; thus, delineating these underlying properties is the purpose of this chapter.

Answer 2

chemical property of DNA is = it contains genes which transfer to another species

physical properties is = in a living organisms such as human beings DNA exist as a pair of molecule rather than in a single
