    DNA PPSX

    This document discusses the structure and replication of DNA. It describes that DNA is composed of nucleotides containing a sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine). It also notes that adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine through hydrogen bonding. The document then provides a comparison of the number of genes and base pairs in different organisms. It outlines the "central dogma" and possible modes of DNA replication, noting that replication proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction and is catalyzed by enzymes like DNA polymerase which adds complementary bases and repairs errors.
