What is DNA?DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.

Carries the genetic code.

DNA Adenine (A) guanine (G)cytosine (C)

thymine (T).

A goes with T and C goes with G.

Adenine

• Adenine is an integral part of DNA,

RNA, and ATP.

• Formula: C5H5N5

• Molar Mass: 135.13 g/mol

• Density: 1.60 g/cm

Guanine

What is guanine?

Guanine is a purine base, C 5 H 5 N 5 O, that is a

fundamental constituent of DNA

Molar Mass: 151.1261 g/mol

Cytosine

What is cytosine?Cytosine is A pyrimidine base,

C4H5N3O, that is the constituent of DNA and RNA involved in base-pairing

with guanine.

Thymine
