I'm not sure they are big enough to be called vitamins, they are specifically called nucleotides. Adenine, Guanine, Cytozine and Thymine. A very nice picture is in the link below.

What does semi-conservative model mean?

Refers to semi-conservative replication of DNA. One strand of the old DNA is used as a template to replicate the other, new, strand of DNA. Thus you have four from two, but two of the four are old strands while the other two strands are new. Thus the name semi-conservative replication.


How are the four bases of DNA linked?

Bases in DNA are linked through hydrogen bonds. There are two hydrogen bonds between Adenine and Thymine There are three hydrogen bonds between Guanine and Cytosine


Is DNA a long term storage of genetic information?

Yes DNA can hold information .It contains the four bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. the four bases will base complimentary pair in one of four ways A-T, T-A, G-C, C-G. The single DNA molecule in our zygote contained enough information to specify all the key parameters of your final body construction and operation, including all the instructions of how to form that final organism, step by step, from a single cell. Also Chromosomes are made up of DNA and chromosomes contain genes- hereditary units of coded information passed from parent to offspring.


Subunits of nucleic acids?

The monomers of nucleic acid polymers are the nucleotides. Each is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone and one of four bases as a side group. In RNA the sugar is ribose, in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose.


Is DNA a single blueprint for the building of a house or like a book of blueprints?

Well, since DNA is made up of more than one part (there are four different nucleotides that make up DNA), and each strand of DNA is sequenced differently throughout each cell in the human body, I would say that it is more like a book of blueprints. DNA sequences in a cell's nucleus set out the cell's structure and function. Different sequences in different cells mean that each cell will have a specific function within the body.
