Interpretation:
The effect of the structure of the DNA on its function is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The structure of DNA is a double helix and its function is to store and replicate genetic data.

Answer to Problem 22SSC
The double helix structure of DNA makes the formation of nucleotides and the interaction between the base pairs easier and can be easily broken and reformed during the replication of DNA.
Explanation of Solution
The basic building block of DNA is a
