DNA consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine. The sequence of nucleotides determines individual hereditary characteristics.

∙ 14y agoThe double helix containsamino acids bonded together, (one might say it is a polymer) this is called a protein and it is what the each single strand of the helix consists of. this is because the two strands contain alternating hydrogen and oxygen which form hydrogen bonds with each other.
