The two strands stick together due to the attraction between complementary bases. In DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine and Cytosine binds to Guanine.
The two halves of a DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. This base pairing allows for the specificity and stability of the DNA molecule.
A molecule of DNA consists of two strands of various chemical compounds that other chemicals carrying genetic information join together, much like ladder rungs hold ladder rails apart. The two strands joined with thousands of rungs look like a long rope ladder that has been twisted into the shape of a spiral, called a double helix.
Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
Its actually two wi=ords; Thehy are 'Double Helix'.
The twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule is called a double helix. The double helix structure consists of two strands that are twisted around each other, forming a shape resembling a twisted ladder or spiral staircase. This iconic structure was first described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, revolutionizing our understanding of genetics.
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
Hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases hold the double helix together.

No, nucleotides are joined together by the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar molecule of another nucleotide. The bases participate in hydrogen bonding interactions, not covalent bonding, within the DNA double helix structure.

I am not sure that there is a species on Earth where the CELLS are helical in shape and joined together in chains.
