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. |
1. | digestion of DNA by deoxyribonuclease |
2. | separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis |
3. | hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe |
4. | detection of hybridised DNA fragments by autoradiography |
Assertion (A): | It is necessary to define the boundaries that would demarcate the region and the strand of DNA that would be transcribed. |
Reason (R): | In transcription, only a segment of DNA and only one of the strands is copied into RNA. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | When Griffith injected a mixture of heat-killed S and live R bacteria, the mice died. |
Reason (R): | Mice infected with the S strain (virulent) die from pneumonia infection but mice infected with the R strain do not develop pneumonia. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
