ider the structure and function of DNA. Which of the following statements is TRUE? O Because DNA contains carbohydrates, it provides structural support to the cells. The phosphodiester bonds that stabilize the association of the two strands are easily broken and reformed. If the sequence of one DNA strand is known, then the sequence of the other strand can be determined. Because DNA is made of phosphate groups that are ionized, it could easily pass through a cell membrane.
