handrails= sugar phosphate backbone of DNA
It is more usually called the Double Helix, title of a Book by Watson and Crick that I could never really get into.
The 4 nitrogen bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine
the dna is weird
nucleotide base pairs
A spiral staircase is actually a very good analogy for DNA. The railings are like the chains of Deoxyribose (the type of sugar that gives DNA its name) that give the DNA molecule its shape. The steps in the staircase would represent the base pairs (made up of Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine) that contain the genetic information.
The coiled structure of double-stranded DNA in which strands linked by hydrogen bonds form a spiral configuration, with the two strands oriented in opposite directions.
A Double Helix.
helical staircase A double rung helical Staircase; in the form of a spiral ladder (10.3 rungs per turn).
It's a double helix...think of twisting a ladder
nucleotide base pairs
nucleotide base pairs
Yes
Double helix
A DNA molecule has a unique design that resembles a spiral staircase that scientist call a double helix. DNA is a two stranded and is a winding chemical structure.
A DNA molecule has a unique design that resembles a spiral staircase that scientist call a double helix. It is a winding, two stranded chemical structure.
It's a dual-helaxiocase.
It is harder to build a spiral Staircase because if you build a spiral staircase it will be longer and twistier than a straight staircase.
A spiral staircase is a type of screw. A spiral staircase is a type of screw.A spiral staircase is a screw. So it is an inclined plane.
A double helix, like the sides of a spiral staircase.
