What is the structure of a DNA molecule? A. Two nucleotide strands coiled into a double helix held together by bonds between internal nucleotide bases B. Three nucleotide strands coiled into a triple helix held together by bonds between internal nucleotide bases C. Two nucleotide strands coiled into a double helix held together by bonds between external nucleotide bases D. A single nucleotide strand held together by bonds between internal nucleotide bases
Part of one strand of a double-helical DNA molecule has the sequence 5'-GATTACAGCCTTAGTTAAATTCTAAGGCTGGTA-3'. (a) Write out the sequence of the complementary strand of DNA: 3'-CTAATGTCGGAATCAATTTAAGATTCCGACCAT-5' (b) Does the strand shown above have the potential to form any kind of alternative DNA structure? Does the double-stranded DNA of which it is part have the potential to form an alternative structure? If so, what structure or structures might form?
