What is a DNA ?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is
molecule that carries genetic information for
development and functioning of an organism .
A DNA molecule contains the elements carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and
sometimes sulfur.
In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose and organic base
is either adenine(A), thymine(T), cytosine(C), or
guanine(G).

What is a Nucleotide?
A DNA molecule is made up of long chains of
nucleotides formed into two strands.
A nucleotide is made up of a 5-carbon sugar
molecule joined to a phosphate group(-PO3) and
an organic base.
More about DNA
DNA is made up of two strands(chains of nucleotides)
held together by chemical bond between bases. Size of
molecule make sure that A always pairs with T and C
pairs with G. the double strand is twisted to make a
helix (like a twisted rope ladder with the base pairs
being the rungs)
