DNA

• Deoxyribonucleic Acid codes for the amino acid sequence in the primary structure of a protein
• DNA Polymers are in a double helix
• Nucleotides are made from a phosphate group, deoxyribose and a nitrogenous base
• The nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
• Polynucleotides are formed with Phosphodiester bonds from DNA Polymerase between the sugar and phosphate
• Hydrogen bonds (weak bond) form between the bases, making a double helix
