DNA (for those who study biology)

[jynx]

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

wow, interesting!

My school just teach us all sorts of boring theories and we hardly do any practical. and they never did use models =.=

We use Deoxyribose Neucleic Acid too, I think...I don't remember, we did it last year.

They aren't actually all correct. Deoxyribose is the pentose sugar found in DNA, and is simply called Deoxyribose. Deoxyribonucleic Acid is made up of a pentose sugar (in this case - Deoxyribose), a nitrogen base (Adenine, Thymine, Guamine or Cytosine) and something else XD Sorry for the biology lesson XD

We were taught Deoxyriboneucleic Acid. I guess different schools teach different things. {Obviously. XD}

 

[GVG]

This "something else" is called a phosphate group and joins the sugars and the bases together. The correct name is Deoxyribonucleic Acid as far as I know. I think this stuff is really interesting especially when you do it in detail. DNA replication and the processes by which proteins and polypeptide chains are formed are truly amazing. However, that's my own opinion. I doubt if anyone here agrees XD

Deoxyriboneucleic Acid. I actually like this class for once, lol, so I've been paying really close attention. But just about everyone else calls it DNA. They are also the people who failed the recent test, lol.

The people who made DNA really just copied the pokemon "Deoxys" and stole one of Grimer's attacks, "Acid", and simply formed. "Doexyriboneucleic Acid."

The correct name is Deoxyribonucleic Acid as far as I know.

That's the spelling I was l00king for. Though yes, as the majority has voted, I've been taught Deoxyribonucleic Acid.

Why sorry? That's very good information!! :D
