my prof in genetic class gave everyone this take home question for us to think about:

 

What would happen to the supercoiling of the DNA if the C2 and C3 carbon bond at the sugar backbone is cut?

 

Shouldn't it disrupt the supercoiling in a way that all the base will not stack anymore? This one is a toughie...

You are on the right track.

 

What would happen if you replaced some of the material that connects the rungs of a ladder with flexible material...or replaced some of the material between the steps of a spiral staircase with rubber?

 

Mama mia that's a some a fine spaghetti.........

 

PS: You should probably put this in HW help :)
