Computer graphic of a segment of beta DNA
DNA. Computer model of part of a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is the molecule that controls the growth and development of all living things. Atoms are shown as balls, and are colour- coded: carbon (pink), oxygen (green), phosphorous (orange), nitrogen (blue) and hydrogen (white). The DNA molecule comprises two sugar-phosphate strands spiralling around each other (the double helix), linked by the interactions between pairs of bases along their length. The sequence of these bases along the DNA strands determines an organisms unique genetic code. Human DNA contains around 3 billion base pairs, grouped into sections (genes) controlling a specific function

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer graphic showcases a segment of beta DNA, providing a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of molecular biology. The image highlights the fundamental building blocks of life - atoms - represented by vibrant color-coded balls. Carbon appears in pink, oxygen in green, phosphorous in orange, nitrogen in blue, and hydrogen in white. The DNA molecule itself is composed of two sugar-phosphate strands elegantly spiraling around each other to form the iconic double helix structure. These strands are interconnected through pairs of bases that run along their length. It is this sequence of bases that ultimately determines an organism's unique genetic code. Human DNA contains an astonishing three billion base pairs meticulously arranged into sections known as genes. Each gene controls a specific function within our bodies, contributing to our growth and development. This stunning illustration beautifully captures the complexity and beauty inherent within our genetic makeup. It serves as a reminder that every living thing on Earth is intricately connected through the universal language encoded within its DNA. Science Photo Library has expertly crafted this artwork using cutting-edge technology and scientific knowledge to provide us with a visual representation that both educates and inspires awe for the wonders of nature's blueprint: deoxyribonucleic acid or simply put - DNA.
