Inhaltsangabe

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the fundamental molecule responsible for storing, transmitting, and expressing genetic information in living organisms. Structurally, DNA is composed of two antiparallel polynucleotide strands arranged in a double-helix configuration, stabilized by complementary base pairing between adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine. This highly organized structure ensures accurate replication and reliable inheritance of genetic information across generations. Functionally, DNA acts as the template for gene expression through transcription and translation, directing the synthesis of proteins that regulate cellular structure, metabolism, and biological activity. Despite its stability, DNA is constantly exposed to endogenous metabolic processes and environmental factors that can induce mutations. These alterations may occur as point mutations, frameshift mutations, or larger chromosomal changes, potentially disrupting gene function. DNA mutations play a significant role in genetic variation but are also associated with numerous human diseases, including cancer and age-related disorders.
