Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions
used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. A main role of DNA
molecules is the storage of information. Chemically, DNA is a long polymer of simple units
called nucleotides with a backbone made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester
bonds. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases. It is the
sequence of these four bases along the backbone of DNA that encodes information. Three
nucleotides (nucleic acids) in DNA encode for three nucleotides in ribonucleic acid (RNA),
which encode one protein molecule when the DNA is read (translated) from RNA to protein
in the ribosome.
