Having a shape that is both helical (spiral) and spherical (round), or relating to objects combining these geometric forms.
From Greek 'helix' (spiral) + 'sphaira' (sphere) + '-ic' (relating to). A technical geometric term combining two fundamental three-dimensional shapes.
DNA itself is helispheric at different scales—the double helix winds around a spherical core, which is why scientists describe the structure as both spiral and globe-like depending on magnification.
