Answer:
it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses - DNA
the nitrogen-containing bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) - DNA
it functions by determining the heredity of trait - DNA
the pentose sugar is deoxyribose - DNA
it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses - DNA
Explanation:
-it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses
-the nitrogen-containing bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)
-it functions by determining the heredity of trait
-the pentose sugar is deoxyribose
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double stranded molecule that has been found to be responsible for heredity of traits. It is characterized by 3 main components:
The purine bases include Adenine and Guanine while the pyrimidine bases include Thymine and Cytosine.
The DNA differs from RNA in that the RNA (ribonucleic acid) is single stranded, contains ribose sugar and instead of Thymine base, it contains Uracil.
