DNA FULL FORM

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a complex biomolecule that contains the genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of all living organisms. It is found in nearly every cell in an organism's body and is made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). The sequence of these bases, which pair up with each other to form base pairs, determines the genetic code stored in DNA.

DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes and is replicated during cell division to ensure that each new cell has an exact copy of the genetic code present in the old cell.

Property Description
Name Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Function Contains genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of living organisms
Location Found in nearly every cell in an organism's body
Chemical Composition Four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T); each base is attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule, forming a nucleotide
Base Pairing A pairs with T and C pairs with G to form base pairs
Chromosomes DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes
Replication DNA is replicated during cell division to ensure that each new cell has an exact copy of the genetic code present in the old cell
