A DNA molecule is composed of Deoxyribose, sugar base, bonded to phosphate by a covalent bond, which according to if Adenine and Thymine bond, will results in a double hydrogen bond, or Guanine and cytosine which results in a triple hydrogen bond. The DNA molecule is a double stranded helix wich is anti-paralell, because one goes in the direction of 5'-3' and the other one from 3'-5'. Which is why the lagging strand 3'-5' requires additional enzymes for replication.
here is a good picture that might help you understand:

How is the staircase a symbol of genetics in the movie gattaca?
They are helical in their structure; they look like a strand of DNA (the double helix.)
What does the DNA double helix look like?
Think of it as a ladder, being twisted.
Why is it important for scientist to know the structure of DNA?
Because DNA can tell scientist who ur parents are and find out more about our body structure
What is the structure inside the nuclus that contains genes?
DNA, which looks like an hour glass.
3 dimensional shape of the dna molecule?
3-d structure of dna because of base pairing +nt in it ,like as shown above
What does the DNA look look like?
You get a toy ladder and twist it repeatedly. You get the two spring like structure, going parallel to each other. DNA helix looks like the same.
If organisms have the same bone structure would they have the same DNA?
no because the DNA doesn't make up what your bone structure will look like it just means they inherited it from there ancestors.

How does DNA look in fish gonads?
It looks the same as it does everywhere else. DNA is DNA. Its structure is the same everywhere.

43 What is the shape of DNA?
DNA is double helical (like a step ladder) in structure
Is a DNA a single stranded?

What are some methods scientists use to study the detailed structure of DNA?
Type your answer here... They all knew that the structure of the DNA was like a twisted ladder.
What do biologists look at when they classify an animal?
Biologists classify animals by their body structure, the way their body structure develops, and by their DNA.
