Statement I: | The negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form a structure called a nucleosome. |
Statement II: | A typical nucleosome contains 200 bp of DNA helix. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |

4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
Assertion (A): | On one strand the replication of DNA is continuous, while on the other, it is discontinuous. |
Reason (R): | The discontinuously synthesised fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
1. | It is made of two polynucleotide chains, where the backbone is constituted by sugar-phosphate, and the bases project inside. |
2. | The two chains have anti-parallel polarity. |
3. | The bases in two strands are paired through hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) forming base pairs (bp). |
4. | The two chains are coiled in a left-handed fashion. |
