Superhelix

Did you know DNA looks like a twisted ladder? Imagine if you took that twisted ladder and twisted it even more! That extra twist is called a "superhelix". It's like taking a rubber band and winding it around your finger many times - it becomes a superhelix!

In science, superhelix refers to the twists and turns of DNA molecules in a way that changes its shape and properties. These superhelices are important for the stability and function of DNA. Think of it like playing with a Slinky - you're changing its shape by twisting it around, and that's what happens with DNA too!

So, even though DNA looks like a long, skinny ladder, it can also twist and turn in unique ways to create superhelices. And those superhelices are important for making sure our DNA works properly inside our bodies.
