What is the importance of the main features found in dna douBle helix

Answer 1

hmm,well there's actually no answer to why the DNA is in a double helix structure but maybe it is to ensure that the structure doesn't get distorted easily,if not we cannot undergo mitosis and meiosis and without all these we can't grow

Answer 2

The main feature of DNA in a double helix is its stability.  That is, the double helix is much less likely to be damaged than are two unpaired strands of DNA.  DNA is really a long term recording system of genetic information, and the relative stability of the record is critical for life to continue.

Answer 3

they are called as the DNA. this functions as the genetic carrier in the form of code. this will passed to the offsprings which will carry half the chromosomes from the father and half from the mother.

Answer 4

dna carries information.. for formation of certain proteins like hormones, enzyme, etc... which carry out many biochemical reaction of our body. helical structure help them to wind around histones.

Answer 5

Ability to replication of DNA molecules is most important property.
