Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The DNA double helix with reference to the sugar-phosphate backbone should be described in detail.
Concept Introduction:
The modern structure of DNA was proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick. DNA has two polynucleotide strands parallel to each other and in opposite direction and has wind up into a right handed double helix.
