The document discusses the hypothetical scenario of single-stranded DNA instead of double helix DNA and how a cell would replicate it during division. It suggests that the cell would first convert the single-stranded DNA to mRNA and then reverse the process to form cDNA before dividing into daughter cells. The author invites further comments and discussions on this topic.

Suppose that DNA did not have a double helix structure, and instead .pdf
- 1. Suppose that DNA did not have a double helix structure, and instead DNA was single-stranded. Imagine that a cell with this single-stranded DNA was ready to begin cell division. How could a cell replicate single-stranded DNA so the daughter cells could receive an exact copy of the genes present in the original cell? Solution simple it will first convert DNA to mrna and then convert mRNA back to cDNA similar to that of parent cell and divide the newly formed DNA into new cell Hope that helps FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND DISCUSS .....REGARDS
