Deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of two chains. A double helical structure is formed when two chains coil around each other.This double helical structure carry genetic information for the growth, reproduction, development and functioning of an organism.
The nucleic acid such as DNA and RNA are one of the major types of macromolecules which are necessary for all life forms.
The nucleotide is made up of one of four nitrogen containing nucleobases such as Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine, Deoxyribose sugar and a Phosphate group.
