Question
. How does the double helix structure of DNA support its
role in encoding the genome?
a. The sugar-phosphate backbone provides a template
for DNA replication.
b. tRNA pairing with the template strand creates
proteins encoded by the genome.
c. Complementary base pairing creates a very stable
structure.
d. Complementary base pairing allows for easy
editing of both strands of DNA.
