subsequently, watson and crick showed that a molecule of dna can be broken lengthwise into two linear halves by merely heating it. what does this imply about the strength of the bonds between the two linear halves of dna? are the bonds between the two halves likely to be stronger or weaker than the bonds that make up the sugar-phosphate backbone?

Respuesta :

The bonds between the two halves is likely to be weaker than the bonds that make up the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA.

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the most prominent type of genetic material in most of the organisms. There are two strands in DNA through which nucleotide bases project out towards the inside.

The backbone of DNA is made up of alternating sugar and phosphate bonds joined together by phosphodiester bonds. The two strands are joined together by the hydrogen bonds between the bases. These hydrogen bonds are easily break off as the temperature rises and hence are weaker.
