DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as
the main constituent of chromosomes. DNA is the carrier of genetic information. It is made up of
molecules called nucleotides, each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a
nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and
cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code
DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To
carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used
to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene.

Conclusion questions
Purines and Pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases that make up the two different kinds of
nucleotides bases in DNA and RNA. The two-carbon nitrogen ring bases (adenine and
guanine) are purines, while the one-carbon nitrogen ring bases (thymine and cytosine) are
pyrimidines.
Bonding between purines and pyrimidines is very unique and specific. Not only can a purine
not bond with anything but a pyrimidine, but specific purines have to bond with specific
pyrimidines. This is because the structure of each is such that it can only bond with the
corresponding one.
Yes, because each stand is specific for instance a purine can only bond with a pyrimidine.
The structure of each is such that it can only bond with the corresponding one.
The model I compared were very similar but not the same. Multiple strands of (A,T) and (G,C)
were in different places. These different sequences of bases encode the information that
determines a human's traits.
