Summary Introduction

Introduction: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a macromolecule that is a polymeric chain of nucleotides. Every nucleotide is made up of a sugar base, a phosphate group, and any one of the four nitrogenous bases (adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The DNA carries the genetic information of a cell, which is determined by the sequence of arrangement of nucleotides in the DNA strand.
