The term "ADN" is a noun.
The phonetic transcription of "ADN" in the International Phonetic Alphabet is /a.ðe.ˈen/.
"ADN" translates to "DNA" in English.
"ADN" stands for "Ácido desoxirribonucleico," which translates directly to "deoxyribonucleic acid." It is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. In Spanish, "ADN" is frequently used in both written and spoken contexts, especially in education, medicine, and legal discussions related to genetics.
The term "ADN" is commonly used in scientific literature, medical reports, and legal contexts, particularly in discussions about genetic testing, paternity testing, and forensic science.

The acronym "ADN" is formed from the initial letters of the Spanish term "Ácido desoxirribonucleico." The word "ácido" comes from the Latin "acidus," meaning sour or sharp, and "desoxirribonucleico" is derived from "desoxirribosa" (deoxyribose, a sugar) and "nucleico" (nucleic, pertaining to the nucleus or nucleic acids).
Since "ADN" is a specific scientific term, it does not have direct antonyms. However, in discussions around genetics, terms like "ARN" (Ácido ribonucleico or RNA) could be thought of as contrasting in terms of their roles in genetic coding and expression.
