    Study Notes

    Structure of DNA Molecules

    • DNA is a double helix made of two polynucleotide chains.
    • The chains run antiparallel to each other.
    • The bases pair in a complementary way (A with T, and G with C).
    • The sequence of bases in one chain dictates the sequence in the other chain.
