Double Helix: The three-dimensional structure of DNA, consisting of two complementary strands twisted into a spiral staircase. Discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.
Nucleotides: The building blocks of DNA, composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base.
Base Pairing Rules: Specific hydrogen bonding between nitrogenous bases—Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
Antiparallel Strands: The two DNA strands run in opposite directions, one 5' to 3' and the other 3' to 5', essential for replication and transcription.
Complementary Strands: Each DNA strand can serve as a template for the synthesis of its partner, due to specific base pairing.
