Let's explore the remarkable structure of DNA!!!!

The first thing that you would see if you were to look at DNA is its double helix shape. A double helix is shaped like two parallel lines (like in a ladder) twisting along its length. Within the double helix, you will see four different bases that bond with each other and connect the two parallel sides of the helix. The names of the bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The bases bond in a certain order, that is:
Adenine - Thymine
Cytosine - Guanine

This is a picture of DNA!
