The DNA double helix consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted round each other and linked by bonds between bases in each strand. Guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C), while adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T). The continuous "ribbon" (the backbone) of each strand is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate sections. 2, record 1, English, - DNA%20double%20helix

La double hélice d'ADN est constituée de deux chaînes de polynucléotides formant une double hélice qui s'enroule autour d'un même axe. Une chaîne contient, en l'espace d'une rotation autour de l'axe, environ 10 mononucléotides. Les bases sont à l'intérieur, perpendiculaires à l'axe, et il y a toujours association complémentaire de la thymine avec l'adénine, et de la cytosine avec la guanine. 2, record 1, French, - double%20h%C3%A9lice%20d%27ADN
