Detailed explanation-1: -The molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next. Also called DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -More Information. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (National Human Genome Research Institute)
Detailed explanation-3: -Each gene’s code uses the four nucleotide bases of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T)-in various ways to spell out three-letter “codons” that specify which amino acid is needed at each position within a protein.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.
