How is the structure of DNA related to its function
The sugar-phosphate backbone is double stranded so protects the bases; DNA is a large molecule so can store lots of information; DNA is coiled so compact;Base sequence codes for amino acids; DNA is double stranded so replication can occur semi-conservatively; Weak hydrogen bonds present allows for strand separation for replication
