DNA

• What is the structure of DNA?

  DNA is a double helix of paired bases.
• What are the components that make up DNA?

  DNA is made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a base.
• How many nucleotides are in DNA?

  DNA consists of 20 nucleotides.
• What is the role of complementary base pairing in DNA?

  Complementary base pairing keeps the two DNA strands together.
• What is a nucleotide composed of?

  A nucleotide is composed of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a base.
• What type of molecule is DNA classified as?

  DNA is classified as a polymer.
• Why is the structure of DNA important for protein synthesis?

  The structure of DNA is important for protein synthesis because of the complementary base pairing that ensures accurate transcription.
• What are the key features of DNA's double helix structure?

  • Composed of two strands
  • Strands are held together by complementary base pairing
  • Twisted ladder shape
  • Each base pairs specifically (A with T, C with G)
• How does the structure of DNA contribute to its function in living organisms?

  The double helix structure allows for efficient storage of genetic information and accurate replication during cell division.
