Edwin Chargaff's base pairing rules include:

Back

A and T pair, G and C pair

Front

The base pairing rules of the DNA structure allow for:

• a consistent diameter throughout the molecule
• hydrogen bonding along the phosphate-sugar backbone
• covalent bonding between bases
• mutations to occur easily

Back

a consistent diameter throughout the molecule

Front

Match the DNA structure with the correct type of bonds:

• nitrogenous bases bond covalently
• nitrogenous bases link by hydrogen bonds
• phosphates and sugars link by hydrogen bonds
• phosphates and nitrogenous bases bond covalently

Back

nitrogenous bases link by hydrogen bonds
