About this document
Nucleic Acids and DNA Structure by adjerad omar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses nucleic acids, which are made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and phosphate groups. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine, while RNA contains adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil instead of thymine. Nucleotides are linked via phosphodiester bonds to form polynucleotide chains.
