DNA, molecular model
DNA. Molecular model showing a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) looped into curves. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of an outer sugar-phosphate backbone (red and white) with cross-linking nucleotide bases (blue and white). There are four different bases: guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Guanine always pairs with cytosine and adenine always pairs with thymine. DNA contains sections, called genes, which encode the bodys genetic information. Genes determine each cells structure, function and behaviour

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of DNA, our body's genetic blueprint. The molecular model elegantly displays a single strand of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), expertly looped into graceful curves. As we delve deeper into its structure, we discover that DNA is composed of two strands twisted together in a mesmerizing double helix. The outer sugar-phosphate backbone, depicted in vibrant red and white hues, provides stability to this complex molecule. Interspersed along the backbone are cross-linking nucleotide bases represented by striking blue and white colors. These four bases - guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine - hold the key to life's code as they pair up with their complementary partners: guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine. Within DNA lie sections known as genes which encode vital information for our bodies. Genes act as the architects behind each cell's structure, function, and behavior. This stunning illustration not only highlights the structural elegance of DNA but also emphasizes its crucial role in genetics. Through this artwork created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the remarkable complexity hidden within every living organism. It serves as a visual reminder that life itself is intricately woven through biochemical processes governed by this incredible molecule called DNA – an awe-inspiring testament to nature's ingenuity.
