Which of the following is the wrong statement? Coulomb's law describes the electric force that
- A has inverse-square dependence on the distance between the charges together to form molecules
- B can be repulsive or attractive
- C binds the electrons of an atom to its nucleus.
- D binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. This is incorrect. Protons are all positively charged, so Coulomb's law actually describes a very strong repulsive force between them that would normally fly the nucleus apart. The force that holds protons and neutrons…

If a person is born with a hereditary disease, can a corrective therapy be taken for such a disease? Gene therapy is an attempt to do this. Gene therapy is a collection of methods that allows correction of a gene defect that has been diagnosed in a child/embryo. Here genes are inserted into a person's cells and tissues to treat disease.

In the year 1963 the two enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage in E. coli were isolated. The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was characterized five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognizing a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II. Besides Hind II, today we know more than 900 restriction enzymes that have been isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria, each of which recognize different recognition sequences.
