Biology Molecular Genetics

Molecular genetics focuses on the intricate details of DNA and RNA, the fundamental building blocks of life. DNA, a large and permanent molecule housed in the nucleus, is composed of a sequence of nucleotides, each consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen-containing bases:
