The fact that a purine base always pairs through hydrogen bonds with a pyrimidine base in the DNA double helix leads to:
1. the antiparallel nature
2. the semiconservative nature
3. uniform width throughout DNA
4. uniform length in all DNA

DNA is a polymer of nucleotides which are linked to each other by 3’-5’ phosphodiester bond. To prevent polymerisation of nucleotides, which of the following modifications would you choose?
1. Replace purine with pyrimidines
2. Remove/Replace 3' OH group in deoxy ribose
3. Remove/Replace 2' OH group with some other group in deoxy ribose
4. Both ‘b’ and ‘c’

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 the 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
