DNA replication
The sugar molecule found in DNA nucleotides is called deoxyribose.
The process by which a DNA molecule copies itself is called DNA replication. During this process, the double-stranded DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two complementary strands, and new nucleotides are added to each strand according to base pairing rules to form two identical DNA molecules.
Extracted DNA can be inserted into a new molecule through a process called molecular cloning. In this process, the DNA of interest is first integrated into a vector, which is a small DNA molecule capable of replicating inside the host cell. The new DNA construct can then be introduced into a host cell, where it will be replicated along with the host DNA.
DNA replicates using the process called semiconservative replication. An original DNA molecule is complementary to the replicated molecule, which means that they are identical copies of each other.
The spiral shape of the DNA molecule is called a double helix.
The four bases of a DNA molecule are called adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

DNA is a molecule. There are also a bunch of proteins/molecules called histones that organise the DNA molecule into a condensed state.

The sugar molecule in DNA is called deoxyribose. It is a five-carbon sugar that forms the backbone of the DNA molecule, connecting the nucleotide units together.
