Question

1. Describe how the structure of DNA (double helix and base pair rule) is correlated with its role as the molecular basis of inheritance and uniqueness.

2. Discuss how this correlation (above) allows scientists to use DNA for the following area: You will describe DNA technology in the "medical field".

Answer 1

1.

The helical structure of the DNA form rungs in every twist. These rungs are the sites that actually stores the genetic information. The double helical structure of the DNA is also better suited for the packaging of genetic DNA into the small cell. The base pairing between the nucleotide base pairs helps the DNA to become stable. The slightly acidic nature of the DNA also helps it making stable. The correct base pairing code for the correct proteins that will lead to the next generation. The wrong base pairing can lead to the severe disease in an animal. So, the structure of the DNA is very unique that make it the molecule for inheritance.

2.

The DNA technology also considered as recombinant DNA technology. This is used to improve the human health. This technology has been used n the agriculture and medical field. The structural study of DNA has made it possible that how and which part of the DNA has to be used to improve the complications. The unique structure of the DNA has made it possible that in present time there are several genetic disorders that can be prevented by using the DNA technology.
