Interpretation:
The intermolecular forces that stabilize the structure of DNA and their action is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The intermolecular forces are the forces that act between molecules, atoms or ions. They are relatively weak forces of attraction.
The intermolecular forces are of five types as hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, ion-dipole forces, ion-induced dipole forces, van der Waals forces.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material in humans and almost all living organisms. Most of it is present in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA) and some are located in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA). DNA has four chemical bases as adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The sequence of these bases provides information that is used to build and maintain organisms.
