where is DNA found?
DNA is found in the cells nucleus.
what is it made of?
DNA strands are known as polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogen-containing nucleobase—either guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), or cytosine (C)—as well as a monosaccharide sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group.
what is its structure?
DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.
