please tell me about the structure of dna and chromosome. Please tell me about the different proteins
DNA i.e. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a long linear double helical polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides. It is associated with the transmission of genetic information.
The backbone of DNA is based on a repeated pattern of a sugar group and a phosphate group. The sugar present is deoxyribose. A phosphate group is attached to the sugar molecule in place of the -OH group on the 5' carbon. In DNA there are 4 bases, which are cytosine (C), thymine (T), adenine (A) and guanine (G). A DNA strand is simply a string of nucleotides joined together. The phosphate group on one nucleotide links to the 3' carbon atom on the sugar of another one
Chromosomes are thr?e?a?d?l?i?k?e? linear strand of DNA and associated proteins that carries th??e genes and functions in the transmission of hereditary information??.? ??T?h?e?y? ?a?r?e? ?l?o?c?a?t?e?d? ????in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
