DNA- Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a molecule composed of two chains or double strands that coil around each other forming a double helix to carry the genetic information for the development of an organism.
Explanation:
- DNA contains the information that instructs a living organism to develop, grow, survive and reproduce.
- The information instructed is found inside every cell and is passed down from parents to their children.
- DNA is made of nucleotide molecules which in turn contains a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base.
- Deoxyribose in DNA is another form modified from ribose sugar.
