The sides of the DNA strand is made up of a sugar phosphate backbone. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose (in RNA it is ribose) and in the nucleotide monomer it is attached to a phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the sugar. The monomers are attached together by the biochemical reaction of dehydration synthesis to form a nucleic acid chain of many millions of nucleotides by attaching the phosphate group of one nucleotide to the 3' carbon of the deoxyribose of another carbon.

What is a double helix DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.
What shape is DNA?
DNA is a double helix, or a twisted ladder.
What is the term used to describe the shape of DNA?
DNA is organized in a double-helix fashion.
What enzyme unzips the DNA double helix?
The enzyme Helicase unzips the DNA double helix
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
What molecule has the shape of a double strand helix?
DNA, and the shape is also known as a double helix.
what is the shape of a DNA?
double helix
What happens when DNA replicated?
A Baby is Born!
Which part of DNA is double helix?
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.

What shape is DNA?
DNA is a double helix, or a twisted ladder.
What is the scientific term for the shape of the DNA strand?
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.
What is the term used to describe the shape of DNA?
DNA is organized in a double-helix fashion.
What type of structure is the DNA?
Double Helix
What is the shape of the DNA molecule known as?
Double Helix :D
What enzyme unzips the DNA double helix?
The enzyme Helicase unzips the DNA double helix
Where is double helix located?
In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
