Summary Introduction
To review:
The effects of water on the structure of deoxyribonucleicacid (DNA).
Introduction:
DNA is a double-stranded polynucleotide. The nitrogenous bases present in DNA are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. The nitrogenous bases are connected by the phosphodiester bonds.
