DNA is a biopolymer made up of mononucleotides as repeating units, consisting of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and oxygen. It exists in two main types: DNA and RNA. DNA structure consists of nucleosides, which are nitrogenous bases linked via beta-glycosidic bonds to pentose sugars, forming the basic building blocks.
