(genetics, biochemistry) A nucleic acid found in all living things (and some non-living, see virus); consists of a polymer formed from nucleotides which are shaped into a double helix; it is associated with the transmission of genetic information.
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules in each living cell contain elaborate, detailed instructions necessary for the correct development of organisms.
Monitoring of the operation of 3 forensic laboratories in toxicological, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and histological testing and mentoring of 18 civil servants
Examples were given of enhanced use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) technology, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) databases, and science for detection of latent fingerprints
There has been an increase in the use of radiolabelled peptide and recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technologies and products in the field of radiopharmacology
Now, however, biologists have spent decades studying human genetics and the detailed instructions that are embedded in the amazing molecule called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
All this information is found in a substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), most of which is located in a small compartment in the cell known as the nucleus.
Researchers have learned that for a cell to survive, at least three different types of complex molecules must work together —DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and proteins.
Especially in Chapter 7 of that book, “Heredity Keeps Family Kinds Separate,” I learned about the scientific substance DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and realized that a creative power was needed.
For example, a molecule of DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid), which contains the coded information for the heredity of every living thing, can have millions of atoms of several elements!
From a scientific point of view, genes are sequences of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases, nucleotides, within nucleic acid molecules each of which determines the primary structure of proteins or polypeptide molecules
