What determines the primary structure of a DNA molecule?
a. Stem-and-loop configuration
b. Complementary base pairing
c. Deoxyribonucleotide sequence
d. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that the primary structure of a DNA molecule refers to the linear sequence of nucleotides.
Recognize that nucleotides in DNA are composed of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
Identify that the sequence of deoxyribonucleotides, which includes adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G), determines the primary structure of DNA.
Note that complementary base pairing (b) and hydrogen bonding (d) are involved in the secondary structure, not the primary structure.
Conclude that the correct answer is the deoxyribonucleotide sequence (c), as it directly specifies the order of bases in the DNA strand.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Deoxyribonucleotide Sequence

The primary structure of a DNA molecule is determined by its deoxyribonucleotide sequence. This sequence is the specific order of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The sequence of these bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) encodes genetic information.

Complementary Base Pairing

Complementary base pairing is a fundamental principle of DNA structure where adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. This pairing is crucial for the double helix structure of DNA and ensures accurate replication and transcription processes. However, it is not the primary determinant of the DNA's primary structure, which is the linear sequence of nucleotides.

Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen bonding occurs between complementary bases in the DNA double helix, stabilizing its structure. While these interactions are essential for maintaining the double-stranded form of DNA, they do not determine the primary structure. The primary structure is solely defined by the linear sequence of nucleotides, not by the interactions between them.
