| Front | Why is DNA adapted to carry out its function |
|---|---|
| Back | It is a very stable structure and can pass through generations, rarely without a mutation. The 2 separate strands are joined only by H-Bonds, this allows strands to separate during DNA replication. It is a large molecule, therefore, carries a large amount of genetic information. By having base pairs inside a helical cylinder of deoxyribose-phosphate backbone, genetic information is protected from being corrupted by outside chemical and physical forces. |
