DNA Structure - Deepstash

DNA Structure

  • The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a pattern made up of four different parts called nucleotides.
  • Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose) bound on one side to a phosphate group and bound on the other side to a nitrogenous base.
  • There are two classes of nitrogen bases called purines (double-ringed structures) and pyrimidines (single-ringed structures).
  • The DNA has four bases: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine.
  • The DNA is often visualized like a spiral staircase -- the double helix.
