Il est composé de deux chaînes de nucléotides dans lesquels le sucre est le désoxyribose et les bases l'adénine, la cytosine, la guanine et la thymine dont la séquence détermine le code génétique. Les deux chaînes s'enroulent l'une autour de l'autre pour former une double hélice; elles s'attachent l'une à l'autre par des liaisons hydrogène entre deux bases complémentaires (adénine-thymine ou cytosine-guanine). 3, record 1, French, - acide%20d%C3%A9soxyribonucl%C3%A9ique
