What Is DNA | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) is extremely important. All living things have DNA, or in the case of some viruses they have RNA instead.

In eukaryotes, it is found within the nucleus and is arranged into chromosomes.

DNA determines the characteristics of an organism. Specific codes of DNA are called genes.

DNA is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides are repeating units, that are made up of a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. There are 4 nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

The bases pair up and the DNA twists into a double helix shape.

Actually, when translating, when there is a T, an A is connected but if there’s an A, a U is connected. Search it up I learned it in school and sorry if I made it more confusing or if I’m wrong xxxx

Genes and DNA are actually not condensed into chromosomes, it is usually the components of chromatin. Chromosomes are only found during mitosis

[farahlaith]

Thanx very much
l understand when l watch this video😘😎

[chelseaibe]

Is it not adenine instead of adenosine. Adenosine is in ATP

[derekholden]

my little brothers DNA is-int in the right order
