DNA is made up of phosphate groups, sugars (deoxyribose), and bases (thymine, cytosine, adenine, guanine). It functions as the genetic blueprint for life, directing a cell's activities by specifying protein structures and regulating protein production. DNA remains in the nucleus and makes copies of itself while also transcribing mRNA to control growth and maintenance of life.
3. Subunits? Yes, Phosphate Group Sugar (Deoxyribose) Base (Thymine) Types: Cytosine, Uracli (RNA), Adenine, and Guanine
4. Functional groups Carbonyl- contributes to making molecules and water soluable Not reactive Phosphate- (acidic) biological storage and releases of energy
6. General Functions DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) directs a cell's activities by specifying the structures of its proteins and by regulating which proteins and how much are produced, and where. In so doing, it never leaves the nucleus. Its basically the blueprints for everything in your body.
7. Functions of DNA make exact copies of itself serves for transcription of mRNA genetic blueprint of life responsibility for the growth and maintenance of life
8. Why would you be a good parent I would be a good parent to DNA because it is what makes me, me =) Another reason why I would be a good parent to DNA is because the DNA that makes me up would dictate weather I am carrying, loving or thoughtful
