If DNA is basic in nature, then why it is called as Deoxyribonucleic acid ?

Name reflects chemical structure, not pH propertyName reflects chemical structure, not pH property

Because of its structure, DNA is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid. The nucleic acid has a phosphate backbone with bases such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, while the deoxyribose portion contains pentose sugar. The -OH group at position two of the sugar ring is absent in deoxyribose.
