Detailed explanation-1: -Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs. Duplication of the genetic information occurs by the use of one DNA strand as a template for formation of a complementary strand.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two kinds of DNAs, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Accordingly, the DNA binding proteins usually consist of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) and double-stranded DNA-binding proteins (DSBs).
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is double stranded molecule.
Detailed explanation-4: -1 double stranded DNA (dsDNA) can form 2 double stranded DNA molecules when it is replicated. Each one of the two strands of the initial dsDNA is used as a template to form a new strand and eventually end up with a new dsDNA molecule formed from each of the two initial DNA strands.
