Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diËÉksiËraÉªbÉµ.njuËËkleÉª.É¨k ËaesÉªd/ ; ËÃ¦SÉªD) dna is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions used in the, development functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many. viruseshe two DNA strands are known as polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogen-containing nucleobase âeither cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T)âas well as a monosaccharide sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group.
Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome, made up of around 249 million nucleotide base pairs and representing approximately 8% of the entire DNA within a human cell. Research into chromosome 1 has shown that it contains around 4,220 genes and was the last gene to have its DNA sequencing completed by The Human Genome Project, nearly twenty years back.
