Question 1 of 5
DNA Structure Basics
Double Helix: DNA's twisted ladder structure with two strands running in opposite directions.
Base Pairing: Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).
Hydrogen Bonds: A-T pairs have 2 hydrogen bonds, G-C pairs have 3.
Backbone: Made of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules.
Directionality: Strands run 5' to 3' in opposite directions (antiparallel).
Visualization Tips
- Use Details Mode to see labeled components
- Try DNA Replication animation to see how DNA copies itself
- Switch to Nitrogenous Bases view to focus on base pairing
