The name of the twisted ladder shape of the DNA molecule is called a double helix. This is because it is constructed of two long strands that twist around each other to form a ladder-like structure. Continue Reading. The double helix shape of DNA molecules consists of two rails and steps that link the rails together.
The name DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. By breaking down the name, we can understand the structure of the molecule. DNA is a long string of nucleotide units attached to one another. In a single nucleotide there are three components: 1) a sugar molecule, 2) a phosphate group, and 3) a nitrogenous base.(See Figure B-2.) In DNA, the sugar molecule happens to called deoxyribose, hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid.n summary, a double helix of DNA is composed of two spiraling, complementary strands of DNA. Each strand is composed of a sugar and phosphate backbone with varying nitrogenous bases sticking in towards the center. The two strands are joined together at the center by pairing bases lined up with one another.
