    DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is located in the chromosomes in the cell and has a twisted ladder shape called a double helix. The backbone of DNA is formed by alternating sugar and phosphate groups, while the rungs are formed by pairs of nitrogenous bases - adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine.
