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.

Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
A double helix is a twisted ladder-like structure that describes the shape of DNA. DNA is a molecule that carries genetic information in organisms. RNA is another type of nucleic acid that can form double helix structures under certain conditions, but it is less stable in this form compared to DNA.
DNA is organized in a double-helix fashion.
The shape of a DNA molecule is called a double helix.
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.

The whole DNA strand is a double helix.
Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
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.

In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a double helix structure, in which two strands of nucleotides are wound around each other. This helical structure is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
The sugar-phosphate supporting structure of the DNA double helix is called the backbone. This is why the DNA is commonly referred to as a double helix.
