a.
To make:
A molecule of double-stranded DNA and explain proper nitrogenous base-pairing between the strands.
Introduction:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material which is responsible for passing information from one generation to another. It is a double helical structure consists of “two parallel strands” made up of nucleotides. DNA molecule copies itself by “
b.
To make:
A molecule of double-stranded DNA and explain proper orientation of the strands.
Introduction:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material which is responsible for passing information from one generation to another. It is a double helical structure consists of “two parallel strands” made up of nucleotides. DNA molecule copies itself by “DNA replication”. In this process, each new strand of DNA helix complementary base pairing occurs, the new strand is copied from the parent strand, thus two DNA helices are identical to each other and to original molecule.
c.
To make:
A molecule of double-stranded DNA and explain proper positioning of the sugar-phosphate backbone.
