The structure of a DOUBLE HELIX is called the sugar phosphate backbone and gives the double helix its crisscrossing spiral appearance and it also has the job of holding everything together on the double helix, [Ex.: The sugar phosphate backbone is like the sides of a ladder, its what the bars in the middle of the ladder are attached to, (Bars= HYDROGEN BONDS) and without the sides of the ladder (without the sugar phosphate backbone) the middle bars can't make up the ladder (just like hydrogen bonds can't make up a double helix without something supporting it, not including the other parts of a double helix such as the nitrogenous bases, the nucleotides, the phosphate, and the sugar KNOWN AS DEOXYRIBOSE FOUND ONLY IN A DOUBLE HELIX.)]

  • A single helix sugar is different from a double helix sugar, a single helix sugar is called ribose and a double helix sugar is called deoxyribose.

There are three components to DNA: deoxyribose sugar, phosphate, and the bases (A,T, G, and C). Now, the initial sturcture would be the sugar-phosphate backbone. Also, the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs helps to stabilize the structure.

Music, do some research.

Our DNA is shaped similar to music notes. And music can alter our DNA for both good and bad.

Claude Debussy's music is the most mathematically close to the golden ratio that is found in all of nature and which humans find most ascetically pleasing in anything from structures, cars to a mates face.
