DNA Backbone Structure and Function
Which statement best describes how the structure of the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA facilitates the storage and transmission of genetic information?
The backbone’s flexibility allows it to coil tightly, compressing genetic information for storage in the nucleus and enabling quick unraveling for transmission
The sugar-phosphate structure creates a hydrophobic environment that prevents water from interfering with base pairing, ensuring accurate information storage
The alternating sugar-phosphate backbone provides a stable, negatively charged exterior that protects the base pairs and allows for efficient replication and transcription
The sugar-phosphate backbone forms a positively charged interior that attracts and binds nucleotides, facilitating rapid genetic information transfer
