Question

Can you physically see DNA?

Answer 1

DNA:

1. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a helically twisted double chain macromolecule.
2. It constitutes the genetic material of all organisms with the exception of ribovirus (which contains RNA)
3. DNA can be seen with the naked eye.
4. When collected from many cells, it is visible like white strands or a somewhat noodle-like structure. Sometimes, a network of fibres can be seen.
5. Under an electron microscope, the double-helical structure of DNA can be seen.
