Question 2

Relative to the secondary structure of DNA, there is no restriction on the sequence of bases along a polynucleotide chain. The exact sequence carries the genetic information.

Question 12

The following structures is a pyrimidine.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The following structures is a pyrimidine. ...

Question 13

Relative to the secondary structure of DNA, the purine and pyrimidine bases lie inside the helix, in planes perpendicular to the helical axis; the deoxyribose and phosphate groups form the outside of the helix.

Accepted Answer

This is correct according to the usual description of the double helix structure of DNA. The purine and pyrimidine bases (A, G, C, T) stack on top of each other inside the helix, with hydrogen bonds forming between complementary base pairs. The deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group backbone of each DNA strand wind around the outside of the helix.
