Which one of the following statements is not correct regarding the DNA?
- A DNA as an acidic substance present in nucleus was first identified by Friedrich Meischer in 1869.
- B The two chains are coiled in a left-handed fashion and the pitch of the helix is 3.4 nm
- C The plane of one base pair stacks over the other in double helix and confers stability of the helical structure
- D The two chains have anti-parallel polarity, means if one chain has the polarity 5' to 3', the other has 3' to 5'.

The DNA fragments can be separated by a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules, they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The repeated amplification of DNA is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus). After completion of the biosynthetic stage, the product has to be subjected through a series of processes before it is ready for marketing as a finished product. The downstream processing and quality control testing vary from product to product. The convention for naming restriction enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.
