Abstract
The chemical structure of DNA, RNA, telomeres, and mitochondria and their principal components are reviewed based on the type of chemical bonds and interactions between those components. This study also briefly outlines the types of chromosomes and genes in the cells of some living species, including humans. An approach regarding the polymeric nature of DNA is introduced, including the number of units or molecules in the polymer based on the unit cell dimensions of crystalline DNA material. Furthermore, the mechanism of protein synthesis inside the living cell, including the role of DNA and RNA in this process, is discussed.
