Well DNA can't really be in a simple explanation. It is a deoxyribonucleic acid that strands our genetic material together into a double-stranded genome. Not that simple really. All the theories and definitions complicate it way past what it should be. DNA is made up of genes which are made up of chromosomes and nucleotides. Every person with no mutation have 46 total or 23 pairs of chromosomes, 23 from their birth mother and 23 from their birth father. If there is more than 46 total it is classified as a mutation, although nothing maybe wrong with t individual person, and there could always be a physical defect from that. Nucleotides are what the double-stranded helix of DNA is made from. Pairs of molecules; the only four of which are involved are: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C). They pair up as A to T and C to G. Unless it is RNA, those will always pair as that. In RNA the Adenine isn't there, is 'traded' for Uracil (U). So yeah - not all that simple. :)

What characteristic of short tandem repeat DNA makes it useful for DNA fingerprinting?
The sequence of DNA that is repeated varies significantly from individual to individual.
What is the short strand of DNA called?
Short strands of DNA are called a plasmid except that they are found in circular configurations and are often called vectors. RNA are short stands of DNA except for one different base.
What are short tandem repeats?
A short tandem repeat or STR is a type of polymorphism, where short sequences of DNA are repeated. It is a useful tool in forensics because the number of times a DNA sequence is repeated for a given STR varies between individuals.
During DNA replication the short sections of new DNA known as okazaki fragments which are eventually linked together by ligase?
lagging
When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
When DNA is twisted it is called a double helix and when DNA is coiled folded and twisted into short consended strands it is called alpha halix

DNA Synthesizer
