DNA double helix structure with labeled nucleotide base pairs.
This scientific illustration depicts the structure of the DNA double helix, highlighting the base pairing between nucleotide bases. The two strands of DNA coil around each other in a spiral, with Adenine (A) pairing with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) pairing with Cytosine (C). These base pairs form the rungs of the twisted DNA ladder. The diagram clearly labels each nucleotide base, demonstrating the genetic code’s structure that governs the storage of biological information.
This highly accurate illustration is suitable for use in biology textbooks, genetics courses, scientific journals, or educational resources discussing DNA, genetic material, and molecular biology.
The use of color for the nucleotide bases (orange for thymine, blue for adenine, green for guanine, and yellow for cytosine) ensures that the pairings are immediately distinguishable. The vibrant red DNA strands create a strong contrast with the more muted tones of the backbone and bases, making the coiled structure stand out.
