Jacob Glass · Answer 1

option B. is wrong because nucleotides made of 5 - carbon sugars, not 3-C. option C is wrong because Apairs with T and C pairs with G not the other way around. option D is wrong as DNA consists of A, G, C and T. U is found in RNA. the correct answer is A. DNA is in the form of antiparallel strands twisted as a double helix. nucleotides together make strands, 2 of these strands which are antiparallel to each other twist around each other forming a double helix.

therefore A is the correct answer

Lindsey Goodman · Answer 2

Among the choices given, the one that accurately describes the structure of DNA is D. DNA is in the form of anti-parallel strands twisted as a double helix.
