DNA contains genes which are the blueprints that code for traits and proteins. DNA has a double helix shape and contains four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. RNA assists in protein synthesis by allowing DNA to be interpreted and coded for various proteins.

3.  DNA = Makes up genes for all living things.
 What are genes??
◦ Blueprints for us!!
 Genes are parts of DNA that code for
particular traits or proteins.

4.  Deoxyribonucleic
Acid (DNA)
 Dee-oxy-ribo + nuke-lay-ick +Acid

7.  “Double Helix”
shape
1.Number of strands

9. It doesn’t have hydroxyl group at the 2’ position. It just
has a hydrogen, thus deoxygenated.

15.  Protein Synthesis
 Mainly helps in the expression of the genes
that DNA encodes by allowing the DNA to be
interpreted and code for various proteins
