Definition of DNA
- DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid ):
a polynucleotide having a specific sequence of deoxyribonucleotide units; serves as the carrier of genetic information .
DNA structure
- Nitrogen bases.
- Deoxyribose sugar.
- Phosphate group.
Characteristics of DNA
- Replication.
- Storage of information.
- Expression of information.
- Variation by mutation .
Methods of treatment
- Blood transfusions.
- Organ transplant.
Future expectations
- Identification of new genes.
- Correct genetic defects
- Improve the agriculture.
Ways of agricultural improvements
Enhance potential for more vigorous growth.
Increase resistance to natural predators.
Production of hybrids exhibiting a combination of superior traits derived from two different strains.
Disadvantage of modified food
It may harm our health because they had little time for research on long-term medical and ecological effects on modified foods .
Conclusion
The discovery of DNA structure help people to diagnose the genetic disease and help the society in the agricultural fields .
