Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary structure of DNA composed of?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is a molecule that carries genetic information.
  • Step 2: Know that the primary structure of DNA is made up of smaller units called nucleotides.
  • Step 3: Learn that each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
  • Step 4: Recognize that these nucleotides link together to form a long chain.
  • Step 5: Understand that the chain of nucleotides twists into a shape called a double helix.
