DNA Structure | MCQs

Explanation

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the primary molecule that encodes genetic information in cells.

It is a long, double-stranded helix made up of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of genetic information.

Explanation

• Structure of DNA was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
• They discovered the double-helix structure of DNA using X-ray crystallography data.
• Their discovery revealed the double-helix structure of DNA, where two complementary strands are twisted together with sugar and phosphate molecules, and the nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) pair in a specific manner.
