Question
Chapter 4, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why do DNA strands have opposite polarity in double-helix structure?
Concept introduction:
Sugar-phosphate backbones in DNA run in opposite directions. The strands of DNA will form a double helix only when they are opposite in direction.

Calculating human genome
If 1.5 percent of the human genome consists of protein-coding sequences, and the entire genome has 3.2x10^9, how many codons are there in the human genome? Remember that a codon is three nucleotides in length.
Reposting - What would the tertiary structure of the dipeptide Asp-Ser be if it was made into a polypeptide chain? (Would it form a beta pleated sheet, an alpha helix, etc) Why would it do this? What properties of this polypeptide causes this?
This sub part still needs to be solved - What would the tertiary structure of Pro-ala and Glycl-L-alanine be?
DNA
True or false
A long chain polymer in which the internucleotide linkages are of the diester type between C-3’ and C-5’
Hydrolyzed by weak alkali (pH 9 to 100°C)
Different from RNA since in the latter the internucleotide linkages are between C-2’ and C-5
Usually present in tissues as a nucleoprotein and cannot be separated from its protein component
