What variety produce the immense amount of genetic diversity along living organisms? the variety in base sequences
Why is the DNA being stable an advantage for its function? It can pass information from generation to generation without change
As DNA's two separate strands are joined via hydrogen bonds, it means.. They can dissemble for DNA replicaiton and protein synthesis
