DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called nucleobases (informally, bases). It is the sequence of these four nucleobases along the backbone that encodes information. This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins. The code is read by copying stretches of DNA into the related nucleic acid RNA in a process called transcription.
Within cells DNA is organized into long structures called chromosomes. During cell division these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication, providing each cell its own complete set of chromosomes. Eukaryotic organisms (animals, plants, fungi, and protists) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus and some of their DNA in organelles, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. In contrast, prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) store their DNA only in the cytoplasm. Within the chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA. These compact structures guide the interactions between DNA and other proteins, helping control which parts of the DNA are transcribed.
No, "gcccaaag" is not a molecule of DNA. It is a string of nucleotide bases that could be part of a DNA sequence. DNA molecules are made up of sequences of nucleotide bases like adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.
DNA polymerase is responsible for assembling complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication. It adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand using the existing strand as a template.
DNA Polymerase
DNA is made up of nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone consists of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules, with the nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) attached to the sugar molecules.
The parts of DNA molecule are nucleotide, bases, and the hydrogen bonds. The nucleotide contains a pentose sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases. Bases contain pyrimidine and purine and the hydrogen bonds holds the chains of nucleotides.
The four DNA bases are: Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine
DNA is broken into nucleotides. Each nucleotide has one of 4 bases. A group of 3 bases codes for one amino acid.
Dna consists of 4 bases, adenine is one of the four bases. the 4 bases makes up nucleotide which is a small part of dna. the dna is a small part of a chromosome which is contained in the nucleus
Their DNA has the same nucleotide bases, but in different patterns. DNA forms the building blocks of all living things, regardless of species.

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that reads along a sequence of bases in DNA and synthesizes a complementary sequence of nucleotide bases in RNA during transcription.
There are four nitrogen bases in DNA nucleotides: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Each nucleotide contains one of these nitrogen bases.
