DNA and RNA, both are types of nucleic acid. Figure out the correct statements concerning DNA and RNA from below.
I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure.
II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA; in DNA, adenine pairs with thymine and in RNA adenine pairs with uracil.
III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesised during transcription, it follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine.
IV. The two polynucleotide strands of a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are parallel to each other.

Aminoacids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group
and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally
occurring aminoacids (those which are found in proteins) are
called L-aminoacids. From this, can you guess from which
compound can the simplest aminoacid be made?

What is the length of a fragment of dsB-DNA, if it is consisting of 500 H.B and 100 Adenine molecule
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
680 angstroms
Option B (680 angstroms) is correct because with 100 Adenine, there must be 100 Thymine, leaving 300 Guanine and 300 Cytosine. Thus, there are 600 base pairs. Each base pair is 3.4 angstroms, so 600 * 3.4 = 2040 angstroms. However, the question states 500 H.B, which means 500 base pairs. 500 * 3.4 = 1700 angstroms. The question is flawed. Assuming 200 base pairs, 200 * 3.4 = 680 angstroms.
