Which of the following best describes a DNA molecule?
A
double helix
B
contains ribose
C
made of amino acids
D
contains Uracil
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 right answer to the given question is option A) A double helix. It best describes the structure of a DNA molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
