DNA as stored information

Comparison of DNA organisation in a prokaryotic cell, eukaryotic nucleus, mitochondrion and chloroplast, with short circular DNA and long linear histone-associated DNA labelled DNA is a polymer made of nucleotides, and each nucleotide contains a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one base. Genetic information is carried in the base sequence of A, T, C and G.

Step-by-step lessons covering AQA A Level Biology DNA, genes and chromosomes for A Level Biology. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build a strong foundation in cell biology and biochemistry early on, since later topics on genetics, ecology and physiology all draw on these core concepts.
