Detailed explanation-1: -Listen to pronunciation. (dee-OK-see-RY-boh-noo-KLAY-ik A-sid) The molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next. Also called DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of its structure, DNA is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid. The nucleic acid has a phosphate backbone with bases such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, while the deoxyribose portion contains pentose sugar. The-OH group at position two of the sugar ring is absent in deoxyribose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (National Human Genome Research Institute)
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -The term “deoxy” refers to the fact that there is no oxygen attached to the 2’ carbon atom. There is a molecule that is similar to DNA but has an oxygen atom at this position. Its sugar is therefore called ribose and its name is ribonucleic acid or RNA.
