2. DNA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

   The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. Here, the two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme makes the complementary strand by finding the correct base through complementary base pairing and bonding it onto ...

3. Nucleic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid

   In 1944 the Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA is the carrier of genetic information and in 1953 Watson and Crick proposed the double-helix structure of DNA. [ 9 ] Experimental studies of nucleic acids constitute a major part of modern biological and medical research , and form a foundation for genome and forensic science ...

4. Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics

   DNA is made of simple units that line up in a particular order within it, carrying genetic information. The language used by DNA is called genetic code, which lets organisms read the information in the genes. This information is the instructions for the construction and operation of a living organism.

5. DNA synthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_synthesis

   DNA is a macromolecule made up of nucleotide units, which are linked by covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds, in a repeating structure. DNA synthesis occurs when these nucleotide units are joined to form DNA; this can occur artificially (in vitro) or naturally (in vivo). Nucleotide units are made up of a nitrogenous base (cytosine, guanine ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Structure_of...

   The two base-pair complementary chains of the DNA molecule allow replication of the genetic instructions. The "specific pairing" is a key feature of the Watson and Crick model of DNA, the pairing of nucleotide subunits. [5] In DNA, the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine. The A:T and C:G pairs ...

7. Nuclear DNA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_DNA

   Nuclear DNA is a nucleic acid, a polymeric biomolecule or biopolymer, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.Its structure is a double helix, with two strands wound around each other, a structure first described by Francis Crick and James D. Watson (1953) using data collected by Rosalind Franklin.

   Go to any sports game—whether it’s a high school game or a pro one—and you’re bound to see athletes on the sidelines drinking Gatorade. It’s likely a staple at your local gym too. A ...

9. DNA replication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

   The replication fork is a structure that forms within the long helical DNA during DNA replication. It is produced by enzymes called helicases that break the hydrogen bonds that hold the DNA strands together in a helix. The resulting structure has two branching "prongs", each one made up of a single strand of DNA.
