DNA

Chromosomes in the nuclei of cells contain DNA, which contain genetic information. Sections of this DNA, called Genes, code for specific proteins that do specific functions.

DNA:

• Has a Double Helix structure
• Is linked by a series of cmplimentary base pairs joined together by weak hydrogen bonds
• Sugars and Phosphates form the strands of DNA
• Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)
• Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)
