In this article we will discuss about the Structure and Functions of DNA. Structure of DNA: DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid is a helically twisted double chain polydeoxyribonucleotide macromolecule which constitutes the genetic material of all organisms with the exception of riboviruses. In prokaryotes it occurs in nucleoid and plasmids. This DNA is usually circular. In eukaryotes, most of the [...]

The following points highlight the two main types of organellar DNA in cell. The types are: 1. Chloroplast DNA (cp DNA) 2. Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA). Organellar DNA: Type # 1. Chloroplast DNA (cp DNA): Each chloroplast contains 20-200 copies of a circular double stranded DNA molecule, which may also be linear as found in maize, cp DNA is characterized [...]
