The basic structure of DNA is called a double helix. It contains two strands, and each strand is produced of nucleotides. Specific sequences of nucleotides make up genes, which provide instructions for cells. The amount of A bases in DNA equals the amount of T bases, and the amount of G bases equals the amount of C bases.
