A double helix, like the sides of a spiral staircase.
Rosalind Franklin discovered the spiral shape of DNA.
The shape of a DNA molecule is called a double helix.
The name of the shape of DNA is called double helix. There are two long strands of DNA connected in several points. These strands twist and look like a spiral or a spring.

The sugar found in DNA, deoxyribose, is a five-carbon sugar with a five-sided ring in the shape of a pentagon.

A double helix
A DNA molecule has a double helix shape, similar to a spiral staircase or a twisted ladder. This shape can also be found in objects like a spiral spring or a corkscrew.
Watson and Crick named the shape of DNA a "double helix." This name refers to the twisted ladder-like structure of two strands of nucleotides that form the DNA molecule.
The sugar molecule found in DNA nucleotides is called deoxyribose.
