    Dna molecule
    Where is the Genetic code stored in the DNA molecule?
    And
    How is the genetic code store in the DNA molecule?

    Thank you

    DNA ( and RNA) are encoded with proteins or amino acids. Genetic codes are made up through the sequencing of amino acids and trinucleotides.

    You can check out Wikipedia.com and find out a lot more.

    DNA is a two-stranded molecule. Each strand is a polynucleotide composed of A (adenosine), T (thymidine), C (cytidine), and G (guanosine) residues polymerized by "dehydration" synthesis in linear chains with specific sequences. Each strand has polarity, such that the 5'-hydroxyl (or 5'-phospho) group of the first nucleotide begins the strand and the 3'-hydroxyl group of the final nucleotide ends the strand; accordingly, we say that this strand runs 5' to 3' ("Five prime to three prime") . It is also essential to know that the two strands of DNA run antiparallel such that one strand runs 5' -> 3' while the other one runs 3' -> 5'. At each nucleotide residue along the double-stranded DNA molecule, the nucleotides are complementary. That is, A forms two hydrogen-bonds with T; C forms three hydrogen bonds with G. In most cases the two-stranded, antiparallel, complementary DNA molecule folds to form a helical structure which resembles a spiral staircase. This is the reason why DNA has been referred to as the "Double Helix".



    The DNA stores the genetic code in the form of nucleic acids, in a particular sequence.that is different in all individuals living on the face of the earth.so its not degraded any how it remains stored even years after years.

    A vector can be explained easily that it can ncorporate foreign gene esily and can let it express and remains viable under favourable conditions.
