Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)

A DNA is a double helix
molecule composed of
complementary strands of
deoxyribonucleotides units.
The complementary base pairs
of the DNA are held by
hydrogen bonds.
 14

The DNA molecule is composed of

three types of component molecule:
Phosphate group, the sugar
deoxyribose, and the bases adenine,
thymine, cytosine, guanine (A, T, C,
G).
 15

There are three molecules that

form the basic building block of DNA,
the nucleotides. Each nucleotide is
composed of one phosphate group,
one sugar molecule, and one of the
four bases – in the example. Across
the strands of the helix, A always
pairs with T, and G with C.

RNA
 Single stranded
 The sugar in RNA is RIBOSE.
 RNA contain four nitrogenous bases,
but instead of thymine, RNA contains
a similar base called URACIL (U).
