I'm having difficulty with some homework, 6. a. The double helical structure of DNA is intrinsically unstable and easily dissociates to form two separate strands. Why? How does this affect the two key biological functions of chromosomal DNA? What would happen if the DNA helices were too stable? b. How can one measure the stability of a particular duplex DNA? Which molecular properties affect the stability?

Tick the correct statements: Remember: Tautomers are structural isomers that differ from each other based on the position of the proton(s) and their double bonds. ( ) The nitrogenous bases of nucleic acids, which contain heterocyclic and analogous nuclei, can adopt different tautomeric forms involving multiple H+ that are exchangeable depending on the medium. In DNA, spontaneous formation of smaller tautomers appears to contribute to mutagenic errors during DNA replication, while in RNA, they seem to be related to increased structural and functional diversity of enzymes and RNA aptamers (research this and confirm if it is false or real) ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has beta stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has alpha stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) In general, in naturally occurring nucleosides,…

A beginning genetics student is attempting to complete an assignment to draw a base pair from a DNA molecule. The drawing is incomplete, and the student does not know how to finish. He asks for your advice. The assignment sheet shows that the drawing is to contain three hydrogen bonds, a purine, and a pyrimidine. From your knowledge of the pairing rules and the number of hydrogen bonds in A/T and G/C base pairs, what base pair do you help the student draw?
