Solution
Structure of DNA:-DNA exists as a double helix.-The polynucleotide strands are antiparallel.-One end of the strand is called 5' end and the other end is called 3" end.-One full turn of the helical strand would involve ten base pairs.-Pitch of the DNA is 34 Angstrom.
The function of DNA:-contains the genetic instructions.-long term storage of information.
