DNA is often referred to by the description of its form, the "double helix".
DNA is the abbrieviated form for Deoxyribo-Nucleic-Acid, the complex chemical form that carries the genetic information that is the basis for all known forms of life.

Is hydrogen a molecule?
Hydrogen is an atom but the hydrogen molecule is diatomic.H is a single Hydrogen atom, and H2 is a molecule.
How many hydrogen atoms are in the molecule of C8H10N4O2?
The subscripts in a chemical formula representing a single molecule, are the numbers of atoms of each atom in one molecule (remember no subscript is understood to be 1. So add the subscripts to get the total number of atoms in one molecule of a substance. 8+10+4+2=24 atoms in a single molecule of C8H10N4O2.
How many molecules are there in copper sulphate?
One, Copper Sulphate is a single molecule.
What shows the types and numbers of atmos joined in a single molecule of a molecular compound?
molecular formula
Is C3H8 a compound?
Yes. C3H8 is called propane and is a covalent molecule.
What is a single helix molecule?
A DNA molecule has the shape of a double-stranded helix.
How does the shape RNA different from the shape of DNA?
A DNA molecule is in the shape of a double helix. It is also known as a twisted ladder or a spiral staircase. A RNA molecule is in the shape of a single helix, seeing as it is single stranded.
What is a single helix called?
Rna
Each half of the DNA strand. Why is DNA called the double helix?
DNA is called a double-helix because it consists of two strands that spiral around each other. A spiral shape is also called a helix, and there're two of them, so it's a double-helix.
Then the two single strands of?
There are two single strands which are found in the DNA molecule. Each of strand will act as the template for the next one in the double helix molecule.
What is the 3-d dimensional shape of the DNA molecule called?
double helix
What is the scientific term for the shape of the DNA strand?
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.
A DNA molecule has a unique design that resembles a spiral staircase Scientists call this design a?
A Double Helix.
Each molecule of DNA is called What?
the whole strand is called a double helix a individual molecule made up of... a sugar a phosphate a base is called necleotide.
What is the DNA and RNA for strands of nucleotides?
DNA and RNA:AdenineCytosineGuanineDNA only:ThymineRNA only:Uracil
Shape of DNA?
The shape of a DNA molecule is called a Double Helix or a "Twisted Ladder"
What best describe a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule is shaped like a ladder that is twisted into a coiled configuration called a double helix.
