Expert Solution
Introduction

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of almost all living organisms. It is a double helical structure that is composed of nucleotides. 

Each nucleotide is composed of three major components, and they are a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The four types of bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
