,




forming a
hydrogen bond and releasing a molecule
of water
per condensation reaction



Vanities of nucleotides
-

structres of nucleotides determines

their
hydrogen bonding potential
Pyrmidines bond with
purines
-




Forming a heux

negative charges the phosphate backbone
repel

on
are anti
each other , the bases stack inside the helix -

parallel
structure with equal spacing . To
between them

fit bases and sugars , the backbone spirals ,
creating
a
major and minor
groove . CG bonds stronger asthey

bonds
have 3
hydrogen

, DNA vs RNA
RNA uses nibose
sugar

degrades quicker)
-




reacility and decreases
The 2 ots that RNA has increases
stability
-




RNA Uracil instead of thymine important for DNA
uses repair

,




mechanisms

-DNA is its stable
a better
storage molecule as more , it can be


packaged and its
longer
