Dna: The Building Blocks Of Life And The Genetic Code
The fundamental building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, composed of a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group. Nitrogenous bases, including adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), pair up through hydrogen bonds to form the double helix structure. Adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine, creating a specific…
