Identify the incorrect statement:
1. DNA demonstrates greater stability than RNA due to the absence of 2'-hydroxyl groups.
2. Base pairing through hydrogen bonding maintains the double helical structure of DNA.
3. All nucleic acids exist exclusively in single-stranded configurations without secondary structures.
4. Nucleotides consist of nitrogenous bases, pentose sugars, and phosphate groups.
