This is the structure of DNA and it is important to realize several things about the structure. Because DNA is double-stranded, if you have one strand of the DNA, you actually have all the necessary information for generating the second strand of DNA. The second thing is that the structure of DNA facilitates many things including the polymerase chain reaction so that if you know the sequence of the DNA, you can actually construct primers to amplify any portion of it. The third thing that is very interesting about the structure is that if you have one strand and you are able to determine its sequence, you actually will have the sequence of the second strand of DNA.
