What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix made of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of DNA in living organisms?

Back

DNA carries genetic information essential for growth, development, and reproduction.

Front

What is complementary base pairing?

Back

Complementary base pairing is the specific pairing of nitrogenous bases in DNA: A with T and C with G.
