Molecules of DNA are composed of long chains of:
|
Nucleotides
|
|
Amino acids
|
|
Monosaccharides
|
|
Fatty acids
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits. Each of these chains is known as a DNA chain, or a DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together (Figure 4-3).
Detailed explanation-2: -In the smallest human chromosomes this DNA molecule is composed of about 50 million nucleotide pairs; the largest chromosomes contain some 250 million nucleotide pairs. The diploid human genome is thus composed of 46 DNA molecules of 24 distinct types.
