Question

What role does DNA's structure play in its function (for example, the type of bonds holding the bases together vs the type of bonds holding

the sugar/phosphate together)?

Answer 1

DNA is the information molecule. It stores instructions for making other large molecules, called proteins. These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes.
