The DNA is in the shape of a double helix, two strands twisted together like a ladder. The sides of the ladder is made up of the sugar phosphate portions of the adjacent nucleotides bonded together.

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bonded to the sugar of the next nucleotide.

The nitrogenous bases on either sides of the DNA stands join together to form the rung of the ladder. Each base pair is formed from complimentary nucleotides, purines with pyramidines bound together by hydrogen bonds.

The base pairs in DNA are adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.
