- Deoxyribonucleic_acid is the basis and genetic instruction of all living things. A DNA molecule consists of two strands of nucleotides coiled around each other to form a double helix and held together by hydrogen bonds, according to the AT/GC rule.
- One of two classes of nucleic acids; the other is ribonucleic acid (RNA). A DNA molecule consists of two strands of nucleotides coiled around each other to form a double helix and held together by hydrogen bonds, according to the AT/GC rule. A double-stranded nucleic acid that contains the genetic information for cell growth, division, and function.
