Key Characteristics of DNA
- Chemical Nature: DNA is a macromolecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.
- Building Blocks: Each repeating unit (nucleotide) consists of three components:
- A pentose sugar (deoxyribose)
- A phosphate group
- A nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, or Cytosine)
- Biological Role: It serves as the primary genetic material in almost all living organisms, storing and transmitting hereditary information from generation to generation and directing cellular functions such as protein synthesis.
