Question 6

What is the best explanation for why the sugar-phosphate backbone along a strand of DNA is linked through sequential, covalent phosphodiester bonds, while the nucleic acid bases that pair&nbsp.across opposite strands are joined through hydrogen bonding?

Answer

A.

The phosphodiester bonds link the backbone of&nbsp.DNA because these are weaker bonds and&nbsp.allow the strand to be&nbsp.broken down to begin the process of transcription, which is the first step in the central dogma of biology.

C.

Both types of bonds ensure that the structure of the DNA double helix remains intact and that the two strands of DNA are not pulled apart&nbsp.during the process of transcribing an mRNA copy of the DNA, and then translating that mRNA code to a polypeptide.
