Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of the double helix structure of DNA?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of two long strands.
  • Step 2: Know that these strands twist around each other to form a shape called a double helix.
  • Step 3: Learn that the strands run in opposite directions, which is called 'antiparallel'.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the strands are connected by weak bonds called hydrogen bonds.
  • Step 5: Identify that these bonds form between specific pairs of bases (A with T and C with G), which are known as complementary bases.
