Hi.. Following will be helpful Features of the DNA Double Helix
Two DNA strands form a helical spiral, winding around a helix axis in a right-handed spiral The two polynucleotide chains run in opposite directions The sugar-phosphate backbones of the two DNA strands wind around the helix axis like the railing of a sprial staircase The bases of the individual nucleotides are on the inside of the helix, stacked on top of each other like the steps of a spiral staircase.
