Coding Strand of DNA
When pointing to DNA transcription, the coding strand is found to be the DNA strand whose base sequence is indistinguishable from the base sequence of the RNA transcript developed. It is this strand that comprises the codons, while the non-coding strand …
Nucleotide
Both DNA and RNA are composed of organic molecules known as nucleotides. Hence, nucleotides are known as the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. These substances play a role in various processes such as cell signalling, enzyme reactions, metabolism, …
Structure of Cytosine
Cytosine is among the five primary nitrogenous bases of which DNA and RNA and are being used in storage and transportation of genetic makeup within a cell. Adenine, guanine, thymine as well as uracil are the remaining four nucleobases.

Chapter 16, Problem 28E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Genes and their existence in humans are to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleic acids are long, chain-like molecules consisting of repeating units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a phosphate group, a sugar group and a base.

The nucleic acids are classified into two forms which are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

DNA contains the genetic material of living organisms.
