Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA is the chemical molecule that is the basic genetic material found in cells. The structure of DNA is a ____
A
spiral staircase
B
twisty ladder
C
double helix
D
single helix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Most DNA is found inside the nucleus of a cell, where it forms the chromosomes. Chromosomes have proteins called histones that bind to DNA. DNA has two strands that twist into the shape of a spiral ladder called a helix.
