Explaining the DNA structure, 3D animation with basic narration
Description:
The Double Helix
Transcript:
Considering the complex functions of DNA, its structure is simple. The two DNA strands run in opposite directions and twist together to form a stable double helix. During replication or gene transcription, the 2 strands unwind and unzip. This allows one or both strands to be copied after which the strands are able to re-associate and twist back to their helical structure.
