(LO 2.8) Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of DNA? DNA has a hydrogen, not a hydroxyl, functional group on the 2' carbon of the ribose. The two molecules of DNA in a double helix are arranged in an antiparallel orientation Each nucleotide along the backbone of one molecule of DNA is held to the next nucleotide in the same polymer by covalent bonds. The purines (A and G) form complementary base pairs with each other with three hydrogen bonds, and the pyrimidines (C and T) also form complementary base pairs with each other. Two molecules of DNA form a double helix with hydrogen bonds holding the two molecules to each other.

(LO 2.8) A single molecule (strand) of DNA is half of a double helix. The backbone that makes the polymer of this single molecule of DNA is made of covalent bonds between phosphate groups and nitrogenous bases. covalent bonds between phosphate and sugar groups. peptide bonds between sugars and amino groups. peptide bonds between amino and carboxyl groups. hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases.
In the attached picture, how can you tell what is the phosphate vs. the deoxyribose?
The following are the four bases found in DNA. Which base pair can form three hydrogen bonds? * NH2 NH2 CH3. N. NH 'N. NH N, NH2 O. adenine (A) guanine (G) cytosine (C) thymine (T) A-C O A-T G-C O G-T

I know the bond 2 is a non covalent intermolecular bond but what does bond 1 refer to?
In a tautomeric shift Multiple Choice it is always adenine that is changed. final bonding properties of the nucleotides remains unchanged. adenine changes so it can no longer form base pairs. hydrogen atoms move to form a nucleotide base with altered bonding properties. carbon atoms move to form a nucleotide base with altered bonding properties.
