The genetic code is the sequence of bases in DNA, which is found in chromosomes and is made up of double stranded polynucleotides. Explain what is meant by the term “double-stranded polynucleotide” in relation to DNA.
It is known as double-stranded as there are two strands of DNA joined by hydrogen bonds between the bases and polynucleotide refers to the fact that there are many nucleotides joined by phosphodiester bonds.
