Best Answer

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.
