The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and contains genetic information in its double-stranded helical structure.

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be said to be the basic building block of the DNA molecule. Each of these nucleotides is composed of three components:

  1. A phosphate group
  2. A sugar group
  3. A nitrogen base

The genetic code contained within the DNA is determined by the sequence/order in which these bases occur.

The DNA backbone is made up of the sugar-phosphate nucleic acids framework. These groups occur in an alternating manner, in repeating patterns.

The structure of DNA is fairly regular, as in the following parameters are constant - orientation, length of the strand, width and number of nucleotides. These double-stranded molecules are asymmetrical, with the two disjoint strands intertwined with each other, connected by means of hydrogen bonds.

Multiple choice just double checking the answer would be D Correct?
Paladinen [302]

Explanation:

John Dalton proposed the theory of matter which is popularly known as the Dalton's atomic theory. In the atomic theory, Dalton identified from his experiments on gases that every matter is made up of small indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms are the smallest fractions of a matter.

  • All the atoms of an element are all alike.
  • Compounds form from atoms by simple whole number combinations alone.
  • Chemical combination of atoms involves the rearrangement of reactants.

Therefore, using these clues you should be able to answer the question.
