1 of 2

DNA can hold information as it is a long molecules (polymer) containing subunits called nucleotides each one consists of:\textbf{DNA can hold information as it is \color{#4257b2}a long molecules (polymer) containing subunits called nucleotides each one consists of:}

  • Deoxyribose sugar

  • Phosphate group

  • Nitrogenous base (may be Adenine\textbf{Adenine}, Guanine\textbf{Guanine}, Cytosine\textbf{Cytosine} or Thymine\textbf{Thymine})

\Rightarrow Every three nucleotides represent a codon\textbf{\color{#c34632}a codon} and this codon is responsible for forming protein by building polypeptides\textbf{\color{#4257b2}polypeptides} which has a role to present a particular trait. These polypeptide consists of subunits called amino acid\text{\underline{amino acid}}.
