DNA is a polar molecule because it has a negatively (-) charged phosphate group attached to the 5' end of the molecule and a negatively charge hydroxl group (OH) attached to the 3' prime end of the molecule.
Thus, it is a POLAR molecule which allows it to interact in an aqueous environment.

DNA holds the genetic informations that can be copied and passed down into generations because it is heredity.

Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?
A polar molecule
What does non polar molecule mean?
When a molecule is nonpolar it means there are no charges.
Is CSe2 a polar molecule?
Yes, it is bent with two single bonds and two lone pairs
Water and nonpolar molecules do not easliy mix?
Water and oil doesn't mix because the water is a polar molecule and oil is a non-polar molecule. There will always be more molecules of water than oil.
The difference between polar molecuels and nonpolar molecuels?
A polar molecule in which there is some separation of charge in the chemical bonds, so that one part of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the other a slight negative charge. A common example of polar molecule is water. The water acts as a solvent for polar molecules. A non-polar molecule has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.
Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?
