1. | Thymine | 2. | Uracil |
3. | Adenine | 4. | Guanine |
1. | The two strands of polynucleotides are antiparallel i.e., run in the opposite direction. |
2. | The backbone is formed by the sugar-phosphate-sugar chain. |
3. | The nitrogen bases are projected more or less perpendicular to this backbone but face inside. |
4. | A and G of one strand compulsorily base pairs with C and T, respectively, on the other strand. |
In the DNA double helix:
I: | At each step of ascent, the strand turns 34º. |
II: | The rise per base pair would be 0.36 nm. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
