Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide.]]> 2018-04-25 16:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryyjones_13/1mgzhotwghnx/wish/255316882 What is the function of DNA? malloryyjones_13 https://padlet.com/malloryyjones_13/1mgzhotwghnx/wish/255317598 Oligonucleotide acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. All known cellular life and some viruses contain DNA. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.]]> 2018-04-25 16:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/malloryyjones_13/1mgzhotwghnx/wish/255317598 Where can DNA be found? malloryyjones_13 https://padlet.com/malloryyjones_13/1mgzhotwghnx/wish/255318163
  • Researchers refer to DNA found in the cell's nucleus as nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell structures known as mitochondria.

  • The two DNA strands are called polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A] or thymine [T]), a sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group.
