Beta-DNA. Computer representation of a segment of the beta form of the molecule Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). This molecule contains all inherited instructions necessary for the development of a living organism. Atoms are shown as spheres. The DNA molecule is composed of two strands of atoms twisted into a helical shape. Each strand consists of an outer sugar-phosphate backbone (gold) from which the bases project inwardly (silver). The bases are thus paired in a complementary fashion like rungs on a ladder,making up the genetic code. This code is divided into segments called inheritance between different generations | |
