The document summarizes the structure and composition of DNA. It discusses how DNA is made up of nucleotides that consist of a deoxyribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base. The nucleotides link together via covalent bonds between the phosphate of one nucleotide and deoxyribose of the next to form polynucleotide chains. It also describes how the two strands of DNA are held together in the famous double helix structure by hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotide base pairs - adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. DNA stores the genetic code through its sequence of these bonded nucleotides.
