Question

Which is smaller gene or DNA?

Answer 1

Nucleic acid:

1. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a kind of nucleic acid and it is smaller than a gene.
2. This molecule is made up of two long chemical chains called nucleotides that twist around one another in a double helix.
3. Each strand acts as a template for the creation of the complementary strand when DNA is duplicated or ‘replicated.’
4. Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are the four nitrogen-containing bases found in each nucleotide.
5. The genetic code specifies the order and number of amino acids in a protein based on the sequence of these bases.
