| Question | Answer |
| Sugar phosphate backbone and double helix structure | Provides strength and stability Protects information coded in the bases and hydrogen bonding between bases |
| Long molecule | Can store a lot of information |
| Helix structure | Compact |
| Base sequence | codes for amino acids and therefore protiens |
| Double stranded | allows semi conservative replication because each strand can act as a template |
| Complementary base pairings | Allows accurate replication |
| Hydrogen bonds between bases are weak | easily broken and seperation of strands for semi conservative replication |
| Many hydrogen bonds in the whole molecule | Strong and stable molecule |
