DNA is the hereditary material of life This molecule carries the instructions
Introduction
Introduction
The four Molecules that are very important
to life 1.Lipids 2.Proteins 3.Carbohydrates 4.Nucleic acids DNA is composed of Nucleic Acids
Introduction
In DNA, the Nucleic Acids are found in the
Composition
Remember that the Nucleotide is the basic
Structure
So, a molecule of DNA is
made up of millions of subunits called Nucleotides Those subunits are the genetic code! The structure of DNA is of 2 strands arranged into a Double Helix
Structure
Each nucleotide consists of three parts:
1.P 2.D 3.A, T, C, G
Structure
Each nucleotide consists of three parts:
1.Phosphate group 2.Deoxyribose sugar 3.Nitrogenous base
Structure
And the structure of DNA
D) form the backbone of the DNA molecule The nitrogen bases (A, T, C, G) form the rungs of the ladder
Nucleotides
There are four distinct types of Nucleotides Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)
Nucleotides
A T
Adenine
Thymine
Cytosine
Guanine
Nucleotides
Each base will only bond with one
DNA Structure
Because of this complementary base
pairing, the order of the bases in one strand determines the order of the bases in the other strand

DNA Structure
To crack the genetic code found in
organisms A DNA molecule is composed of many tiny Nucleic Acids called Nucleotides
Looking Ahead
Each triplet of nitrogenous bases is known
Looking Ahead
DNA to RNA is called transcription RNA to Protein is called translation
