Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.

What dna is shaped like?
DNA is shaped like a double helix also known as a "twisted ladder".
DNA molecule is shaped like what?
double helix
What shape is a DNA strand?
A DNA strand is shaped like a 'double helix'.
What molecule looks like a double helix?
DNA is shaped like a double helix.
Who deduced that DNA is shaped like a double helix?
Watson and Crick
What molecule has the shape of a double strand helix?
DNA, and the shape is also known as a double helix.
What item in nature shape like a helix?
A strand of DNA is shaped like a double-helix.
What organisms genetic info is stored in which type of macromolecule?
DNA Neucleus
What contains all the genetic information of an organism and is shaped like a double helix?
The double helix looks like a spiral ladder or spiral staircase without a handrail.
Where is genetic code stored?
Genetic code is stored in a macromolecule in the nucleus known as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is shaped like a double helix (imagine a ladder that has been twisted) and is composed of two sugar-phosphate backbones and the four nucleobases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. Adenine pairs with thymine in the DNA sequence and cytosine pairs with guanine.
What best describe a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule is shaped like a ladder that is twisted into a coiled configuration called a double helix.
What macromolecule is a gene?
DNA
