What is DNA?

Answer 1

Deoxy riboNucleic Acid

Answer 2

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid —usually in the form of a double helix— that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life, and many viruses. DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides (a polynucleotide) and encodes the sequence of the amino acid residues in proteins using the genetic code, a triplet code of nucleotides. DNA is thought to date back to between approximately 3.5 to 4.6 billion years ago.[1]

Answer 3

It is deooxyribosenucleic acid, a chemical found in the nuclei of all living cells. It is what is known as the building blocks of life because it holds all the instructions needed to make a lifeform.It is made up of four bases and joined by weak covalent hydrogen bonds. The bases are the sugars Adenine, Cytosine, Thyamine and Guanine. The structure is formed into a double helix.

In complex eukaryotic cells such as those from plants, animals, fungi and protists, most of the DNA is located in the cell nucleus. By contrast, in simpler cells called prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and archaea, DNA is not separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear envelope. The cellular organelles known as chloroplasts and mitochondria also carry DNA.

DNA is often referred to as the molecule of heredity as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. In humans, these traits can range from hair color to disease susceptibility. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Lineage studies can be done based on the facts that the mitochondrial DNA only comes from the mother, and the male Y chromosome only comes from the father.

Every person's DNA, their genome, is inherited from both parents. The mother's mitochondrial DNA together with twenty-three chromosomes from each parent combine to form the genome of a zygote, the fertilized egg. As a result, with certain exceptions such as red blood cells, most

As a result, with certain exceptions such as red blood cells, most human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, together with mitochondrial DNA inherited from the mother.

Answer 6

The material inside the nucleus of cells that carries genetic information. The scientific name for DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid

Answer 7

Douglas Noel Adams writer of among other things The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Answer 8

Yes it is Deoxy ribo nucleic acid, which is made of ribose (a 5 carbon ring sugar)+a Nitrogenous Base (Adenine, or Guanine, or Thymine, or Cytosine). The adenine and guanine are called purines the Thymine and cytosine are called pyrimidines. all are cyclical carbonous,nitrogenous compounds. The DNA is present in the form of GENES in our CHROMOSOMES present in the NUCLEUS of every cell except the RBCs(Red Blood Corpuscels). They code for the amino acids which are the building blocks of the proteins.

Answer 11

DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID, DNA molecules found in the chromosomes in the nucleus of every cell...carry the genetic info

Those are the guys in your body who say to bad guys to get rid of here. If they are not compromized by bad nutrition, they can actualy send the bad guys packing....

but if you eat junk, they get junky and and lazy and do not do their job...just say "Hello, how are you doing today. I did not think you are supposed to be over here. I guess you can stay awhile if we do not tell the boss...ohh you brought some friends...cool
