Which statement about nonpolar interactions in the formation of the DNA double helix is INCORRECT?
A. Van der Waals interactions are nearly optimal in a double-helical structure.
B. Nonpolar surfaces of the bases are moved into contact with each other due to a more complete base stacking.
C. Nucleotide bases tend to stack even in single-stranded DNA molecules.
D. The separation distance of the planes of adjacent bases needs to be adjusted for the favorable van der Waals contacts.
E. Surface complementary maximizes the formation of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions while minimizing the nonpolar surface area exposed to the aqueous environment.
How are nucleotides connected to each other in a single strand of DNA?
A.
The nitrogenous bases and acids link the separate nucleotides into a chain.
B.
The phosphate group of one nucleotide binds to the sugar on the next nucleotide.
C.
The hydroxy group of one nucleotide stabilizes the phosphate group of the adjacent nucleotide.
D.
The sugar of one nucleotide binds directly to the sugar of the adjacent nucleotide.
