Basics of DNA Structure & Function

dna structure  This is the double-helix structure DNA carries genetic information DNA The molecule inside cells that contains the DNA molecules allow this information to be passed from one generation to the next Structure of DNA;

A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits Each of these chains is known as a DNA chain, or a DNA This means that each of the two strands in double-stranded DNA acts as a template to produce two new strands Replication relies on complementary base pairing,

DNA has a regular structure It's orientation, width, width between nucleotides, length and number of nucleotides per helical turn is constant All of these  Learn about the structure of DNA and how to recognize all the parts in this video!
