DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid
Deoxyribose is a sugar that differs from another sugar called ribose ("ribo") by missing one oxygen atom ("deoxy"). A nucleic acid is a molecule that stores genetic information.
The change in the sequence of bases in a DNA molecule is most accurately referred to as a mutation. Mutations can occur due to errors in DNA replication, exposure to certain environmental factors, or as a result of genetic inheritance.

The molecules of DNA are referred to as nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Nucleotides consist of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). Multiple nucleotides are strung together to form the double helix structure of DNA.
The total DNA in a cell is referred to as the genome. It includes all the genetic material, both coding and non-coding regions, that carries the instructions for the functioning of the cell.
Naked DNA refers to DNA that is not associated with histones or proteins, which typically occurs in certain prokaryotes, such as bacteria. In these organisms, the DNA exists in a circular form within the cytoplasm, often referred to as a nucleoid. Additionally, some viruses also contain naked DNA as part of their structure. In contrast, eukaryotic cells generally have their DNA packaged with histones in a more complex chromatin structure.
Two basic types of nucleic acids are ribonucleic acid (also referred to as RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (also referred to as DNA)
