Which of the following aspects of DNA (as the genetic material) are "allowed" by the fact that the two strands of DNA are complementary? This is a multi-select question. DNA can be replicated. DNA can be repaired (since the message is redundant). DNA has a triplet code. The sugar-phosphate backbone is negatively charged, allowing the DNA to be wrapped around histones (forming structures called "nucleosomes"). The hydrophobic bases of DNA are "hidden" so that the DNA will not be incorporated into the nuclear membrane.
