What is the result of an condensation reaction?
As a result of a condensation reaction, 2 mononucleotides can join together between the deoxyribose sugar of one mononucleotide and the phosphate group of another. This new bond is called a phosphodiester bond and the new structure (containing 2 nucl

What are the DNA adaptions?
1) The double helix is very stable as the 2 strands of a DNA polymer wind around each other to strengthen it and make it compact. 2) DNA is a long/large molecule so it’s able to store a lot of information. 3)Base paring leads to DNA being able to r
