That is way too much to try to cover here. But I provided a very good link to a tutorial. It presents the information in an understandable format.

It is a a tutorial on DNA stucture, replication, and protein synthesis.

DNA structure:
DNA molecule is a long polymer built from nucleotides. Both strands in DNA run anti-parallel to each other and are complementary to one another. One of the DNA strands is built in the 5' → 3' direction, while the complementary strand is built in the 3' → 5' direction (5' and 3' each mark one end of a strand). The nucleotides which make up DNA are called bases and when bonded are referred to as base pairs. Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. These pairings are often expressed with C:::G and A::T where the dots indicate hydrogen bonds. A strand running in the 5'→ 3' direction that has Adenine will pair with base Thymine on the complementary strand running in 3'→ 5' direction.


DNA replication:
is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule. This process is important in all known life forms and the general mechanisms of DNA replication are conserved among prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. DNA replication is the process of copying genetic material.Go to the following link for more details
