What is the structure and function of DNA Include DNA replication?

Answer 1

DNA controls the formation of cells in your body, the products they release and everything they do, as well as the process of protein synthesis. DNA is found in the cells nucleus (the control center of the cell) in the chromosomes (which are composed of DNA strands). DNA is in a shape like a coiled ladder (a double helix), the sides of the "ladder" are made up of alternating subunits of sugars and phosphates and the "ladder rings" are pairs of nitrogen bases, adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine. The sequence of these bases forms a code, which controls the production of proteins in the cell. A section of the DNA that codes for a specific protein is called a gene.

The Double Helix structure of DNA allows it to replicate easily due to the weak hydrogen bonds that unzip quickly.

The structure allows allot of information to be stored in small space as the double helix curves.

Answer 2

The DNA structure shows important information on how DNA replication occurs. The pairing pattern of the nitrogen bases is the key to understanding how it occurs. The four nitrogen bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Only adenine and thymine pair together and only guanine and cytosine pair together.

Answer 3

DNA's structure comes in the form of a double helix.

Replication is when the amino acid sequences within the DNA makes another copy of itself, resulting in 2 identical (ideally) molecules of DNA.

Answer 4

the unique double helix and nonparallel arranged two strand structure of DNA helps the DNA replication by providing one strand as the template for the other.........
