Summary Introduction
To review:
The bases in DNA that are purines and pyrimidines.
Introduction:
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary molecule which is transferred from one generation to another. DNA consists of deoxyribose (oxygen is missing from 2') sugar molecule, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
