The structure of DNA and Chromosomes, Study notes of Biology

The structure and function of DNA and chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. It covers topics such as the structure of DNA, nitrogenous bases, phosphodiester bonds, and hydrogen bonds. It also discusses the structure of eukaryotic chromosomes, including how DNA is packed into multiple chromosomes, the role of histones, and specialized DNA sequences for DNA replication. The document also explains the different levels of chromosome packing and how chromosomes are organized during interphase and mitosis.
