    This document provides information about DNA and its structure. It defines DNA as deoxyribonucleic acid and notes that DNA contains genes which code for proteins. The document explains that DNA has a double helix shape with sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base pairs forming the structure. It identifies that Watson and Crick established the DNA structure and that DNA can be found in the nucleus and mitochondria of cells. The document also summarizes several other key aspects of DNA including its role in determining cell types from the same DNA and why it is considered the blueprint of life.

    Summary Questions
    1. Write out the full name for DNA.

    deoxyribonucleic acid
    2. What is a gene?

    a segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein
