DNA Structure
The DNA Molecule consist of two polynucleotidechains (strands) held together in an antiparallelmanner by hydrogen bonds formed betweenspecific pairs of bases [Adenine-Thymine][Guanosine-Cytosine].
Thus the bases sequence (code) in one strandsdetermines the code of the other strands(complementarity).
