Hi
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chain coiling each other in a double helix structure. They are the carriers of genetic instructions and helps in passing the traits of their parents to their offsprings.
DNA are contains monomeric units called nucleotides and each nucleotide contains 4 nitrogenous bases namely cytosine,guanine, adenine or thymine along with sugar( deoxyribose) and a phosphate group
DNA has three main functions
Passing of genetic information from parents to offspring through genes contained in the DNA
Immunological properties of the body also comes from DNA
And the structural characteristics of a species is also controlled by DNA
Hope this helps
