Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA’s structure:Nucleotides are joined together in the shape of a twisted ladder called a:
A
Double helix
B
Single helix
C
GCAT
D
ATGC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Double helix, as related to genomics, is a term used to describe the physical structure of DNA. A DNA molecule is made up of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder in a helix-like shape. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The double helix describes the appearance of double-stranded DNA, which is composed of two linear strands that run opposite to each other, or anti-parallel, and twist together. Each DNA strand within the double helix is a long, linear molecule made of smaller units called nucleotides that form a chain.
