DNA is not made up out of 2, but 4 repeating units. These repeating units, nucleotides, being Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.
DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.
DNA is considered a polymer because it is made up of repeating units called nucleotides, which are linked together in a long chain. These nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). The repetitive nature of these units forms a polymer structure.
Each new DNA molecule has an identical base-pair pattern as the original DNA molecule due to the semiconservative nature of DNA replication. This means that one strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand during replication, resulting in two daughter DNA molecules with identical base sequences.
A polymer is a substance composed of repeating monomer units, where the monomers are linked together through chemical bonds to form a larger molecule. Examples of polymers include plastics, proteins, and DNA.
Yes, they both are [all but] Identical.
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
alternating sugar and phosphate molecules.
The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating sugar-phosphate groups, not nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are arranged in the middle of the DNA molecule and form the rungs of the double helix structure.
Each chromosome is originally made of one DNA molecule.
Four copies of a DNA molecule result from two replications of a single DNA molecule. This is because each replication results in two identical daughter molecules.
The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate units. These sugar-phosphate units are connected by phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of the DNA strand.
