Students have asked these similar questions
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?
During DNA replication, 3 different proteins are used in the process to unwind and seperate the DNA. What are these 3 proteins and is there an helpful way that can I remember what each of thier functions are?
DNA strands are antiparallel, how is this ‘opposite polarity’ plays role in DNA replication, recombination and transcription?
