Expert Solution
Step 1

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) stores the cell’s genetic information and is present in the nucleus of the cell. DNA holds information which helps carry out the vital functions of the cell. DNA is transferred from parent to daughter cells during the replication. The DNA contains sequences of nucleotides which code for specific amino acids, which further form proteins. Each DNA strand has a backbone of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of the four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).
