In the DNA molecule:
1. The total amount of purine nucleotides and pyrimidine nucleotides is not always equal
2. There are two strands, which run parallel in the 5' → 3’ direction
3. The proportion of adenine in relation to thymine varies with the organism
4. There are two strands, which run antiparallel - one in 5' → 3’ direction and the other in 3’→ 5’
