Detailed explanation-1: -Question 17 (5 points) Lsten What unique ability does DNA have because it is double-stranded? it can serve as & template for its own copying it serves 48 genetic material in all vinses DNA does not hare any unique ability ofit being double stranded. it can move around the cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The collective body of results shows that the double-stranded structure of DNA is critical not only for replication but also as a scaffold for the correction of errors and the removal of damage to DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA’s unique structure enables the molecule to copy itself during cell division. When a cell prepares to divide, the DNA helix splits down the middle and becomes two single strands. These single strands serve as templates for building two new, double-stranded DNA molecules-each a replica of the original DNA molecule.
Detailed explanation-4: -Double-stranded DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains whose nitrogenous bases are connected by hydrogen bonds. Within this arrangement, each strand mirrors the other as a result of the anti-parallel orientation of the sugar-phosphate backbones, as well as the complementary nature of the A-T and C-G base pairing.
Detailed explanation-5: -Most DNA molecules have two strands that are bound together by non-covalent (hydrogen) bonds.
