Question

What would happen if the bases in DNA strands were connected by a bond other than a hydrogen bond?

DNA polymerase would not be able to form complimentary strands of DNA.

Each nitrogenous base would be able to form a base pair with any of the other bases.

It would be more difficult for DNA to unzip since it would require more energy to break the bonds.

The DNA molecule would be unstable because the two strands would separate more easily.

Answer 1

The answer would be C, it would be more difficult for DNA to unzip. Hydrogen bonds are strong, but easy to separate. 

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option-It would be more difficult for DNA to unzip since it would require more energy to break the bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The DNA molecule in an organism exists as a double-stranded helical form. These two strands of the DNA are joined via hydrogen bonds formed between the nitrogenous bases on the strands. Two hydrogen bonds are present between A and T while three hydrogen bond between C and G.

These hydrogen bonds provide stability to the DNA as the DNA is the heredity material which has to copied and passed on to the generations .If two strands would have been joined by any other hydrogen bonds than it would take a high amount of energy to break the bonds between the bases.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
