Given below are two statements
Statement I: Cytosine and guanine are formed in equal quantities in DNA hydrolysis
Statement II: Adenine and uracil are formed in equal quantities in RNA hydrolysis
The correct answer is
- A Statements I, II both are correct
- B Statements I, II both are incorrect
- C Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
- D Statement I is correct but statement II is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Chargaff's rule state that in DNA of any species and any organism, the amount of guanine should be equal to the amount of cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to the amount of thymine. So statement (I) is correct but (II) is incorrect.
