A dna strand is simply a string of nucleotides joined together. You don t need to be an artist its. This structure is described as a double helix as illustrated in the figure above.
3 3 5 draw and label a simple diagram of the molecular structure of dna.
Below is an image of dna. It is a nucleic acid and all nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. The phosphate group on one nucleotide links to the 3 carbon atom on the sugar of another one. This structure is described as a double helix as illustrated in the figure above.
