1. How are new strands of DNA constructed by the cell? How does the final shape
of the DNA molecule impart its function?
For a 3-D molecular view of DNA, visit http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/activities/DNA/DNA_intro.html
2. Look up variations on DNA structure by entering the terms "Z-DNA"
and "B-DNA" into a search engine on the Web. Compare these forms of
DNA with the one presented in this chapter. |
