-DNA is a polymer of nucleotides
-Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group
-The sugar in DNA is a pentose sugar called deoxyribose
-The different kinds of bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine
-In DNA, there is a 1:1 ratio of nucleotide bases: number of adenine = number of thymine and number of guanine = number of cytosine
-DNA consists of 2 strands in a shape called a double helix
