DNA is a molecule that carries genetic instructions for growth, development, functioning and reproduction of living organisms. It consists of two strands coiled around each other in a double helix structure. Each strand is made up of repeating nucleotide units containing a sugar, phosphate, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine). The bases bond together between the strands in specific base pairs (A-T and C-G) to form the rungs of the DNA ladder. Watson and Crick discovered that the structure of DNA is a twisted ladder with the bases pairing in the middle and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the sides.
DNA replication makes copies of DNA and is essential for cell division. It occurs through a semi-conservative process where the double helix structure of DNA unwinds and each strand serves as a template for a new complementary strand. This results in two new DNA molecules that each contain one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. Key enzymes like helicase and DNA polymerase facilitate accurate copying of the genetic material according to the base pairing rules to ensure each cell receives an identical copy of the DNA blueprint.
Nucleic Acids are two types-DNA and RNA. DNA is described here which is genetic material. Its biochemical and physical structures are described. There are different types of DNA which are also described.
1) DNA contains genetic instructions that are used to direct cell functions and to be passed down from parents to offspring.
2) DNA is made up of nucleotides containing bases that pair up in a double helix structure. DNA replicates itself through a process that makes an exact copy of the DNA strands.
3) Mutations can occur which change the DNA sequence and can be caused by additions, deletions, duplications or inversions of sections of DNA. These mutations can be passed down from parents to offspring.

DNA replication is the process by which DNA copies itself. It makes exact copies of the DNA in a cell so that when the cell divides, each new cell will have the full set of genetic instructions. DNA is made up of nucleotides that pair together in a double helix structure. During replication, the double helix unwinds and enzymes copy each strand, resulting in two new DNA molecules that each contain one original strand and one new strand. This semi-conservative method ensures the genetic information is preserved and passed on to new cells.

DNA is made up of nucleotides containing phosphate groups, sugars, and nitrogenous bases. The bases on one DNA strand form hydrogen bonds with complementary bases on another strand to form the famous double helix structure. The double helix allows DNA to tightly coil into chromosomes inside cells. Hydrogen bonding between adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine base pairs gives DNA its stable double-stranded structure.
DNA carries genetic instructions in all living things. It is a double-stranded molecule shaped like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of sugar and phosphate, with nitrogen bases (A, T, C, G) forming rungs between the strands via hydrogen bonding.

DNA is found in the cell nucleus and mitochondria, where it stores and transmits hereditary information from parents to offspring that directs protein synthesis and cell functions.
DNA STRUCTURE AND THEIR DIFFERENT TYPES.pptxAngela Abraham
DNA exists in several forms, with B-DNA being the most common and stable form under normal physiological conditions. B-DNA has a classic right-handed double helix structure held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotide base pairs. In contrast, A-DNA has a wider structure with bases displaced further from the central axis. Z-DNA has a left-handed helical structure that occurs transiently in response to biological activity. Other less common forms include P-DNA, which has a longer periodicity than B-DNA, and triplex DNA involving a third strand binding in the major groove. The different DNA structures are important for biological functions like transcription and gene regulation.
The document summarizes the Watson and Crick DNA model. It describes the key components of DNA's double helix structure, including that it consists of two antiparallel strands coiled around a common axis. The strands are composed of deoxyribonucleotides linked by phosphodiester bonds and held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework, while the bases project inward and pair up to form the double helix shape.
DNA exists in different structural forms. The most common form is B-DNA, which has a right-handed double helix structure discovered by Watson and Crick. Other forms include A-DNA, Z-DNA, and C-DNA, which differ in features like diameter, groove size, and handedness. DNA topology refers to the constrained, intertwined nature of the double helix that is influenced by factors like linking number, twist, and writhe. Topoisomerase enzymes play a role in changing DNA topology and are essential for processes like replication and transcription.
DNA contains the blueprint of life in the form of genes on chromosomes. It is a double-stranded molecule shaped like a twisted ladder, with phosphate and sugar molecules forming the backbone and four nitrogenous bases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine - forming the rungs. The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases, with adenine always bonding with thymine and cytosine always bonding with guanine. DNA provides instructions for making proteins and its study has medical and agricultural benefits.
There are three main forms of DNA structure: A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the most common form found under physiological conditions, having a right-handed double helix with 10.5 base pairs per turn. A-DNA forms under dehydrating conditions and has a wider helix with 11 base pairs per turn. Z-DNA is a left-handed helix that forms with alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences, containing 12 base pairs per turn in a narrow, zig-zag structure. While B-DNA is most prevalent, the structure can vary depending on sequence and environmental conditions.
DNA contains the genetic blueprint for organisms and carries this information from parents to offspring. It has a double helix structure with a backbone of sugars and phosphates, and nucleotides that form base pairs between strands. DNA replicates its structure by separating the strands and using enzymes to add complementary nucleotides to each, generating two new DNA molecules. RNA also contains nucleotides that form base pairs and carries genetic instructions but is single-stranded. There are different types of RNA including mRNA and tRNA that play important roles in protein synthesis.
The presentation covers the details of DNA replication starting from the basics of the replication process to the chemistry of DNA synthesis as well as the different models of replication.

DNA contains the instructions for development, life, and reproduction. It is a double-stranded helix made of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate, sugar (deoxyribose in DNA), and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine. The strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs, with adenine bonding to thymine and cytosine bonding to guanine. DNA stores genetic information, directs protein synthesis, determines genetic coding, and is responsible for heredity and cell functions.
In 1953, Watson and Crick proposed the double helix DNA model based on X-ray diffraction studies of DNA photographs by Wilkins and Franklin. DNA has two polynucleotide strands that wind together to form a long, slender helical molecule. The strands run in opposite directions and are intertwined in a clockwise direction. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base pairs and the negative charge of the phosphate groups.
DNA is a double-stranded molecule composed of repeating nucleotides that form a helical structure and contains the genetic information of organisms. Nucleotides consist of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. The two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary purine bases adenine (A) and guanine (G) and pyrimidine bases thymine (T) and cytosine (C). Different DNA structures include A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA which vary in their helical sense, base pair orientation, and groove size.
This document discusses the structure and formation of DNA. It explains that DNA is made up of nucleotides connected through phosphodiester bonds. When nucleotides want to attach to form DNA, they must be in the form of triphosphates which contain energy. This energy is released during bonding between the nucleotides, creating strong phosphodiester bonds that hold the DNA chain together. Enzymes like nucleases can break these bonds, while DNAases and RNAases break down DNA and RNA, respectively.
This document discusses the building blocks of DNA. It explains that nitrogenous bases attach to sugars to form nucleosides, and that nucleosides become nucleotides when a phosphate group attaches to the nucleoside. Specifically, it provides the examples of adenosine, guanosine, cytosine, and thymidine becoming nucleotides. The document also notes that adding more phosphate groups to a nucleotide, such as one, two, or three phosphates, produces adenosine monophosphate, diphosphate, and triphosphate respectively, with the latter being an energy-rich compound known as ATP.
This document describes how to use a cross cylinder to determine if a patient needs cylindrical lenses and to refine the axis and power of any needed cylindrical correction.
A cross cylinder consists of two opposite cylinders. It is used to identify if a patient requires cylindrical lenses, and if so, to refine the axis and power. To check if a patient needs cylindrical lenses, the cross cylinder is aligned at 90 degrees to the patient's spherical lenses and flipped between +0.25 and -0.25. If the patient notices no difference, they do not require cylindrical lenses. If they prefer one orientation, they are astigmatic and need cylindrical lenses.
To refine the axis, the cross cylinder is aligned with the axis of

There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

3. • In real life even alone man can not produce
child , and alone women can not give birth to
child without men .
• So as DNA , a single molecule of DNA can not
live alone it needs another molecule of DNA .
• So how is single chain DNA arranges another
chain of DNA ?
4. • To produce a child there is a need of man and
woman which are different living organisms
• so as the two chains of the DNA molecules ,
they are different from each other .
• Because mostly identical things don’t attract
each other except in some circumstances
5. • To arrange another chain of DNA
• Adenine bonds with thymine in upside down
way
• And the bond between them is called
hydrogen bonds
• Adenine and thymine have two hydrogen
bonds , and it is a weak bond
10. • The DNA molecules are not straight , they are twisted
, their nitrogenous bases are held together by
hydrogen bonds , and their wall is made of
phosphate and sugar , which is held together by
phosphodiester bonds .
11. • Most of the DNA are right hand twisted
• But also in some points it becomes left hand
twist
• So There are different forms that the DNA
twist.
12. B-form of DNA
• This is right handed twist
• It is only a DNA molecule twisting with
another DNA molecule
• There are ten (10) pairs of nucleotides in
complete 360’ degree turn
• And every pair is perpendicular to the central
axis
13.
14. A-form of DNA
• Right handed twist
• It can be one molecule of DNA twisted with
another molecule of RNA , or it can be DNA
twisted with another DNA
• There are 11 pairs of nucleotide in complete
360’ degree turn
• It is slightly dehydrated , because of the more
pairs of nucleotide within 360’ degree turn
15. Z-form of DNA
• With in right handed long chain of DNA ,
suddenly some areas appear which are left
hand twisted , this sudden left hand twist
creates zigzag area , that area of DNA which
has gone in to reverse twisting is called Z-
FORM of DNA .
• There are 12 pairs of nucleotides in complete
360’ degree turn
