Neet Biology Mcq On Dna Structure

Explore MCQs on DNA structure to learn more about how DNA is a group of molecules carrying and transmitting hereditary characteristics or genetic instructions from parents to offsprings. Nucleic acids, which are found in all living entities in the form of RNA or DNA, are formed by the combination of sugar molecules, nitrogenous bases, and phosphate groups associated with different bonds in a sequence.

2. A stabilizing force from DNA double-helix can be generated

Hydrophilic sugar-phosphate groups are found on the exterior of the helix, allowing for interaction with water.

Covalent base stacking interactions may take place between neighboring bases within the same strand in the helix.

(d) Non-covalent N-glycosidic bonds may form between nitrogenous bases in opposite strands of the helix.
