1:30 DNA Structure
Spec 4.6.1.5
  • DNA is a polymer composed of many repeating nucleotide units.
  • A nucleotide, which is a monomer, consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a base.
  • There are four different bases in DNA, which can be referred to by their initial letters: A (adenine), T (thiamine), G (guanine), C (cytokine).
  • The DNA structure features a backbone made of alternating sugar and phosphate sections, with each sugar having one of the four bases attached.
  • Diagrams of DNA structure may be used in exams for interpretation, but reproduction of the structure is not required.
