or it can be more loosely distributed and resemble a pile of string. It is impossible for researchers to see double-stranded DNA with the naked eye — unless, that is, they have a large amount of it.

Here is a view of the double helix -- the subject of ... The sides of the DNA ladder consist of a long string of sugar and phosphate molecules, to which the bases are attached.

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

The backbone of the DNA double helix consists of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar molecules. Interlinking bases hold the two sides together. As A is complementary to T and C is ...
