Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1IQ
Summary Introduction
Toexplain: The reason whythe sugar–phosphate backbone ofthe DNA is held together by the covalent bonds and cross-bridges between the two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.
Introduction: The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a hereditary material that is found in almost all living organisms. The DNA is a double-stranded helix that contains genetic information for the organism to grow, function, develop, and reproduce.

The nucleotides are very specific as to which bond together. The four nucleotides are:Adenine (A) Thymine (T)Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)They are written out in this order because Adenine always bonds with Thymine and Cytosine alwaysbonds with Guanine. Draw a line connecting those so you remember.Let’s practice making complementary strands.
DNA: T-A-C-T-T-A-C-A-C-G-T-C-A-A-C-G-T-G-C-C-T-T-A-G-C-C-A-T-TDNA: A-T-GGo ahead and write out the complementary strand to the strand above continuing where we left off.
If one of the strands of DNA has the following sequence of bases running in the 5-S3' direction,5'-G-G-A-C-A-A-T-C-T-G-C-3'
what base is closest to the 5'-end in the complementary strand?
Which of the following statements is (are) true? (a) The two strands of DNA run parallel from their 5' to their 3' ends. (b) An adenine–thymine base pair contains three hydrogen bonds. (c) Positively charged counterions are associated with DNA. (d) DNA base pairs are always perpendicular to the helix axis

O DNA is made up on nucleotides, which consist of one sugar, one phosphate, and one base. O DNA consists of 4 bases - adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine.

The other end of the chain has a free 3'-OH group. None is linked to another nucleotide. One end of the chain has a free 3'-OH group or 3'-OH group attached to a phosphoryl group. The other end of the chain has a free 3'-OH group, which is linked to another nucleotide. One end of the chain has only a free 5'-OH group. The other end of the chain has a free 3'-OH group.
