While analysing the DNA of an organism a total number of 5386 nucleotides were found out of which the proportion of different bases were: Adenine = 29%, Guanine = 17%, Cytosine = 32%, Thymine = 17%. Considering Chargaff’s rule it can be concluded that:
| 1. | it is a double-stranded circular DNA |
| 2. | It is single-stranded DNA |
| 3. | It is a double-stranded linear DNA |
| 4. | No conclusion can be drawn |
DNA fingerprinting is related to:

What is it that forms the basis of DNA Fingerprinting?
| 1. | The relative proportions of purines and pyrimidines in DNA. |
| 2. | The relative difference in the DNA occurrence in blood, skin, and saliva. |
