DNA strands are joined by
-
Oxygen bonds
-
Hydrogen bonds
-
Carbon bonds
-
Nitrogen bonds
Sugar found in DNA is
-
Dextrose
-
Levulose
-
Glucose
-
Deoxyribose
The distance between two complementary strands of DNA almost remains the same because
-
Hydrogen bonds between the complementary nitrogen bases of the two chains
-
Hydrophobic interactions between nitrogen bases
-
Base pairing between purines and pyramidines
-
All the above
The distance between two complementary strands always remains the same because there are hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases of two strands restricting movement. The bonds are formed correctly on the opposite ie the bonds are between purines and pyrimidines.
The strands of DNA are associated with the help of
-
Hydrogen
-
Carbon
-
Oxygen
-
Nitrogen
DNA has a double stranded structure where, the purines are linked to pyrimidines with the help of hydrogen bonds. Adenine is linked to thymine by two hydrogen bonds while, cytosine is linked to guanine by three hydrogen bonds.
In DNA, guanine pairs with
-
Cytosine
-
Thymine
-
Uracil
-
Adenine
According to the base pair rule, purine pairs with pyrimidine. Hence, guanine pairs with cytosine by formation of three hydrogen bonds.
In the structure of DNA, one-nucleotide purine base joins with pyramid type by which bond?
-
Aster
-
Weak hydrogen
-
Glycosidic
-
Peptide
Answer is option B i.e. "Weak hydrogen"
DNA is made up of nucleotide. Nucleotides join up with one another based on chemical compatibility of their nitrogen bases that are held together by weak hydrogen bond. In DNA, this hydrogen bond helps in stabilizing the nucleic acid structure.
For two closely related species, the DNA would be
-
Completely different
-
Somewhat different
-
Very different
-
Very similar
-
Identical
Species that are very closely related have very similar DNA with only minor differences. They are related through a common ancestor.
The base pairs of DNA are correctly shown as
-
A $\equiv $ T and C = G
-
A = T and C = G
-
A = T and C $\equiv $ G
-
A $\equiv $ T and C $\equiv $ G
In DNA, purines pairs with pyrimidines. Adenine pairs with Thymine with double hydrogen bond and Guanine pairs with Cytosine with the help of triple hydrogen bond.
Diameter of DNA is/Wilkin's X-ray diffraction showed DNA diameter to be
-
$200 \mathring{A}$
-
$100 \mathring{A}$
-
$20 \mathring{A}$
-
$50 \mathring{A}$
Two nucleotides in a strand are linked through H-bond form a dinucleotide.
-
True
-
False
- The two strands of the double helix DNA have base pairing between complementary purines and pyrimidines. Adenine pairs with Thymine or vice versa by two hydrogen bonds and Guanine pairs with Cytosine or vice versa by three hydrogen bonds.
- The two nucleotides on the same strand are linked through phosphodiester bond between 5' phosphate group of one mononucleotide and 3' OH group of other mononucleotide, to form a dinucleotide.
