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:
