Asked by obochina54

Answer (1)

Answer:DNA Molecule DescriptionDNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded helical molecule that serves as the genetic blueprint for all living organisms. Key features... Explanation or example:1. Structure:- Double helix (twisted ladder shape).- Backbone: Alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.- Rungs: Paired nitrogenous bases (A-T, C-G) held by hydrogen bonds.2. Components:- Bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).- Antiparallel strands: One strand runs 5' → 3', the other 3' → 5'.3. Function:- Stores and transmits genetic instructions for growth, development, and reproduction.- Replicates itself during cell division to ensure genetic continuity.4. Location:- Eukaryotes: Packaged into chromosomes in the nucleus.- Prokaryotes: Found in the cytoplasm as a circular plasmid. DNA’s sequence of bases determines the traits of an organism through protein synthesis (transcription and translation).
