    Question: Which form of DNA has a left-handed coil?

    Options:

    A-DNA
    B-DNA
    C-DNA
    Z-DNA

    ✅Explanation:
    -While A-DNA, B-DNA, and C-DNA all exist, only Z-DNA exhibits a left-handed helical structure.

    ✏️A-DNA:
    -Right-handed double helix.
    -Found in dehydrated conditions or specific sequences.
    -More compact than B-DNA.
    -Less common in biological context.

    ✏️B-DNA:
    -Right-handed double helix.
    -Most common form of DNA in living organisms.
    -Considered the "standard" DNA structure.

    ✏️C-DNA:
    -Single-stranded DNA.
    -Not part of the canonical double helix forms.
    -Involved in DNA repair and recombination.

    ✏️Z-DNA:
    -Left-handed double helix.
    -Occurs in specific DNA sequences rich in alternating purines and pyrimidines (CpG repeats).
    -Can influence gene expression and regulation.
    -Less common than B-DNA, but plays important roles in DNA function.

    🔴 Related Terminology:
    -Dehydration: Removal of water molecules.
    -Specific sequences: Particular arrangements of nucleotides in DNA.
    -Compactness: Refers to the density of packing within the helix.
    -Biological context: The environment and interactions of DNA within living cells.
    -Purines and pyrimidines: The two types of nitrogenous bases that make up DNA.
    -Gene expression and regulation: Processes controlling how genes are used to produce proteins.
