Question

Which of the following statements about the structure of DNA molecules is true?

There are three hydrogen bonds between AT pairs.

The nucleotides are arranged in a linear, unbranched pattern.

The sugar-phosphate backbone runs the same way on each DNA strand.

A, B, and Z-form DNA are all right handed helixes.

The nitrogenous bases are found on the outside of the molecule.
