RNA & DNA: Function of DNA (Adaptions)

H[blank_start]ereditary[blank_end] material responsible for p[blank_start]assing[blank_end] genetic i[blank_start]nformation[blank_end] from cell to c[blank_start]ell[blank_end]

Very s[blank_start]table[blank_end] as shown by very r[blank_start]are[blank_end] cases of m[blank_start]utation[blank_end] between g[blank_start]enerations[blank_end]

[blank_start]2[blank_end] separate [blank_start]stands[blank_end] only joined by [blank_start]H[blank_end] bonds which allow [blank_start]separation[blank_end] during DNA replication and protein [blank_start]synthesis[blank_end]

Extremely [blank_start]large[blank_end] - [blank_start]immense[blank_end] amount of [blank_start]genetic[blank_end] information

B[blank_start]ase[blank_end] pairing - allows the r[blank_start]eplication[blank_end] and transfer of i[blank_start]nformation[blank_end] as [blank_start]m[blank_end]RNA

Base pairs within the helical cylinder of the [blank_start]deoxyribose[blank_end]-phosphate [blank_start]backbone[blank_end] - [blank_start]genetic[blank_end] information is (to an extent) protected from [blank_start]outside[blank_end] corruption by chemical and [blank_start]physical[blank_end] forces

Function of [blank_start]DNA[blank_end] depends on its s[blank_start]equence[blank_end] of base p[blank_start]airs[blank_end]
