    Research :
    How does your teacher/ professor tell you to call DNA?

    My school uses "Deoxyribose Neucleic Acid".

    No babies messing about in this post, please! =.=
    This is a RESEARCH.
     
    Deoxyribonucleic Acid is what I was taught in Yr 11 Biology. The teacher drilled it in until we knew how to spell it as well.

    EDIT: I just checked over my notes and corrected myself.

    I may be 12, but my school is already cramming THAT in our heads. We use Deoxyribose Neucleic Acid. (I don't know how to spell it, so I copied and pasted the one that looked right to me.)
     
    My school teaches it in spanish , and the inicial are ADN , which in English will stand for your first option.
     
    The correct word is Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
     
    When I was taught this two years ago, my teacher said Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
     
    Deoxyriboneucleic Acid is what we are always taught.
     
    I have a major headache today... I go to a special school that you have to be REALLY smart to get in to, and I'm in all advanced classes there. We've been learning this for about 2 months...

    They are ALL correct, really :D
    Just different people have different ways...

    Well, what my teacher told me was:

    DEOXY (and deosy) is the name given for the molecule. (Remember "Doexys" :D)
    This molecule contains RIBOSE SUGAR. That makes Deoxyribose.
    This molecule is an ACID, so Acid.

    Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid.

    And then people tend to cut it short, Deoxyribonucleic Acid, and finally DNA, for the shortest form.
     
    Deoxyribonucleic Acid is what he said but we call it DNA
     
    Deoxyribo Neucleic Acid is what we were first taught, then it went to DNA durning middle school, and my last few year of high school we just called it Deo Neu Acid.
     
    It's Deoxyribonucleic Acid for me. I actually liked this stuff in biology last year. ^^ I think it was that way in middle school too, but I didn't see it spelled out very often because the books would just say DNA from what I can remember.

    Lemme see, we mostly use it as one whole word here... but if we split it, it is usually "Deoxy" "Riboneuclic" "Acid"...
    That makes DRA! XD

    My teacher said that Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid is the full term of DNA...

    But I'm sure most ppl use "DRA" nowadays XD
     
    Gawd, we're only in the 7th grade, and we're not even in Biology. It's still science XD.

    We use Deoxyribonucleic Acid. o.o;. I have to make a 3d model of a cell 'cause we're studying it. Wah. XD
