Question: DNA is polymer of:
Options:
Monosaccharides
Amino acids
Unsaturated fat and amino acids
Nucleotides
🔑Key Points:
DNA was first recognized and identified by the Swiss biologist, Johannes Friedrich Miescher in 1869 during his research on white blood cells.
DNA: DNA is a double helical long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. The length of DNA is usually defined as a number of nucleotides (or a pair of nucleotides referred to as base pairs) present in it. This also is the characteristic of an organism.
DNA contains a sugar-phosphate backbone, and the nucleotide bases (guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine).
The coding segment of DNA is called the exon. A segment of DNA within a gene that encodes a sequence ultimately translated into a protein product.
So, DNA is a polymer of nucleotide bases.
