Introduction to DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly
every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus. 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).
