No, monosaccharides are not a feature of all DNA molecules. DNA is primarily composed of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar (specifically deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. While deoxyribose is a type of sugar, it is not classified as a monosaccharide in the same way that glucose or fructose are; instead, it is a pentose sugar. Thus, the structure of DNA is characterized by its unique nucleotide arrangement rather than by the presence of monosaccharides.
One feature of all DNA molecules is that they are composed of two strands that form a double helix structure. These strands are made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The specific sequence of these bases encodes genetic information, and the two strands are held together by complementary base pairing. This structure is fundamental to DNA's role in heredity and cellular function.
DNA molecules contain genetic information in a double-stranded helical structure, while daughter DNA molecules are formed during DNA replication and consist of two identical copies of the original DNA molecule. Daughter DNA molecules are produced through a semi-conservative process where one strand of the original DNA molecule is conserved in each daughter molecule.
Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They have a basic chemical formula of (CH2O)n, where n can vary depending on the specific monosaccharide. Examples include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
In a double-stranded DNA molecule, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T). If one strand has 60 adenine molecules, the complementary strand will also have 60 thymine molecules. Therefore, in the double-stranded DNA molecule, there are a total of 60 adenine molecules in one strand and 60 adenine molecules in the complementary strand, resulting in 120 adenine molecules overall.

They are DNA molecules. They are stored in chromosomes
Two monosaccharides are needed to form one maltose molecule. Specifically, maltose is comprised of two glucose molecules joined together through a condensation reaction, which releases a molecule of water.
The DNA molecules is one of the molecules that bears and humans have in common, but only 96% of the DNA is common between them.

One important property of DNA that distinguishes it from other molecules is its ability to store and transmit genetic information.
Dehydration synthesis, aka condensation reactions join smaller molecules, mostly subunits of a larger molecule (e.g. nucleic acids, monosaccharides, amino acids), into larger molecules (e.g. DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, proteins) with the release of one molecule of water per bond formed between smaller subunits.

about one meter for the human genome IIRC.

239 water molecules would be removed during the formation of a polysaccharide containing 240 monosaccharides. This is because each monosaccharide molecule will contribute one water molecule in the dehydration synthesis reaction that forms the glycosidic bond between them.
