DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is responsible for storing genetic information and is composed of a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is formed by a nitrogen base, a phosphate backbone and a sugar. There are...

First you prove the case n=1 is true. Then you assume that n=k is true, then calculate what n=k+1 is. This should prove true, so that by induction, you have proved that the statement is true for all natural ...
