- B Adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine and cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with guanine
- C The two strands in a DNA molecule are not complementary to each other
- D It contains the pentose sugar, 2-deoxyribose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The two strands in a DNA molecule are not complementary to each other
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
I. DNA has a double helix structure. II. Adenine form hydrogen bond with thymine \(A=T\) ) and cytocine forms hydrogen bond with guanine \((C \equiv G)\). III. The two strands in DNA molecules are complementary to each other. IV. DNA strand contains pentose -2-deoxyribose sugar.…
