DNA has a double-helix pattern, however, the length of DNA in one human cell is two meters long and all of this must fit into the nucleus of the cell.
The DNA of each cell is folded into a unique pattern inside the nucleus of the cell known as a "fractal globule."
The DNA inside the nucleus is arranged into a fractal pattern where the DNA are packed very tight and efficiently inside the nucleus.
This DNA unfolds and folds back during cell functions like gene activity and replication without tangling up into a knot, which is a product of amazing design from an Intelligent Designer.
