Question

Is it possible for the double helix ladder of human DNA to collapse? Would it be similar to each individual cell that makes up the body, to shred?

Answer 1

ANSWER -

it is not possible for double helix of dna to fall down as the double helix is strongly bound with the help of hydrogen bonds in purine and pyrimidine and with a strong phosphate backbone. the machinary of each cell is strong enough to tackle every problem ,

along with this the double helix is protected under nucleosomes which are very much precise in keeping the dna safe, along with this , the dna have several check mechanisms in the cell, which keep a check on the regular functiioning and replication of dna, failure of which sometimes results into apoptosis of cell, if the cell failed to repair itself.

hence, it is impossible for the dna to collapse all of a sudden and the fate of every cell of the body is not same.
