Summary Introduction

Nucleotides are building blocks of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, sugar, and phosphate group. DNA is a genetic material, which consists of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences. DNA carries genetic information from mother to offspring in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Replication, transcription, and translation are important processes of the central dogma of biology. In DNA replication, two identical copies of DNA molecules are produced from the single DNA molecule. Transcription is known as a synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) from a specific segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
