replication
5’-3’ structure allows us to replicate DNA by adding new pieces only in a certain direction ensuring accurate copying
transcription
when making RNA from DNA the 5’-3’ arrangement helps in reading the DNA in the right way to create the RNA
translation
for protein creation, following the 5’-3’ order is like reading a recipe correctly to make the protein just as its supposed to be
A & T
adenine and thymine, 2 hydrogen bonds
C & G
cytosine and guanine, 3 hydrogen bonds
structural stability
a&g will be too long
t&c will be too short
structural instability
mismatch in bases
nucleosome structure
8 histones wrapped around by DNA strand that is wrapped around twice and held together by H1 histones
