What is DNA?

  • DNA is the acronym for Deoxyribonucleic Acid 
  • An Acid that makes up our genetic makeup. 
  • Vital for protein production.
What Make Up the DNA
  • The DNA is composed of 3 main compounds and 4 complementary compounds.
  • The parts that make up the backbone of the DNA are the Deoxyribose (simple sugar) and the phosphate groups.
  • The protein production is made up of Nitrogen bases.
  • The nitrogen bases are known as Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Guanine.
  • The pairs for them goes as follows: AT, CG. That simple.
  • A neat trick that Mr. Black showed us is to put them in alphabetical order and put the innies with the outies.
Summary: This can actually be beneficial to you in the future if you want to become a Doctor. If you know what proteins are being produced and the patient isn't producing enough you could find the problem and fix it while giving said patient what pairs he (not assuming) needs in the time being.
