  • The four bases found in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
  • what is DNA?
    a complex molecule that decides characteristic and traits of all organisms
  • the structure of dna consists of two strands twisted around one another to form a double helix
  • where is DNA llocated for humans?
    Nucleus
  • a nucleotide includes a phosphate group, sugar called deoxyribose and nitrogenous base
  • the sugar is DNA is the ribose/ deoxyribose
  • A always pairs with T
  • C always pairs with G
  • A,T,G,C are all complimentary bases
  • the double helix has a sugar and phosphate pattern for the backbone
  • the complimentary bases can only be joined onto the sugar part of the double helix
