Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. These instructions are found inside every cell, and are passed down from parents to their children. DNA structure. DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.
Genetic information is stored in nucleic acids. Most organisms, including all animals and plants, store it in DNA, but some viruses store it in RNA. In a human cell, most of the genetic information is stored in the nucleus, in certain segments of the chromosomes.About 1 or 2 per cent of the length of human chromosomes consists of genes. The remaining information is in the DNA of each mitochondrion.n a human cell, most of the genetic information is stored in the nucleus, in certain segments of the chromosomes.
