DNA is double helical in structure. each spiral strand, composed of a sugar phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by hydrogen bonding (non- covalent) between paired bases, adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C).

What is the tool used to show the structure of DNA?

The structure of our cell is : Cell membrane: The covering that controls what enters and leaves the cell. Ribosomes: Structures on which amino acids are assembled into proteins. Nucleus: Enclosed in a double-membrane envelope, it is the control center that directs the cell's activities. Chromosomes: They contain the cell's DNA, its genetic master plan. Nucleolus: The site where ribosomes are assembled. Endoplasmic reticulum: Sheets of membranes that store or transport the proteins made by the ribosomes attached to them ( some ribosomes float free in the cell) Golgi body: A group of flattened membrane sacs that package and distribute proteins made by the cell. Centrioles: They lie near the nucleus and are important in cell reproduction. A living cell is enormously complex. Biologist Francis Crick endeavours to describe its working simply, but finally realizes that he can go only so far, " because it is so complicated the reader should not attempt to struggle with the details." Newsweek magazine uses an illutration to give an idea of the cell's activities: " Each of those 100 trillion cells functions like a walled city. Power plants generate the cell's energy. Factories produce proteins, vital units of chemical commerce. Complex transportation systems guide specific chemicals from point to point within the cell and beyond. And so much more...... There is a question that we should all consider : Did our 100,000,000,000 Cells just happen? Is there a designer behind such complexity? The logical conclusion would be that there is no design without a designer, and superb organisation requires a superb organizer. Here is what the Bible has to say in Hebrew 3: 4. " Every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God" The whole earth bears the unmistakable stamp of a deliberate design. And Revelation 4: 11 in the last Book of the Bible reads. " You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created." The tool that we should use to show the structure of our DNA should be our humility and recognize that there is a great designer and get to know what He has in stock for mankind, because as Isaiah 45: 18 shows that " God did not create the earth for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: He said " I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. Psalm 37: 29 reads " The righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it. If we want to be part of God's purpose for mankind, we will have to live up to His requirements and His requirements is written in the Bible which is God's way of commuating with mankind. Read " Timothy 3: 16,17.

What is the term used to describe the natural shape of DNA?

The term used to describe the natural shape of DNA is "double helix." DNA is made up of two strands that twist around each other in a spiral ladder-like structure, forming the double helix shape.
