Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.
Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.
The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
Heat capacity of water is high due to strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
Thus surface tension of water results from the high cohesion between water molecules.
<span>What ensures that DNA molecule is replicated
exactly as its original strand is with the ability of the DNA to make way and
let the base pairs match with each base. This enables them to form the same
strands so that it is identical and not different with the original strand.</span>
