Waste products of adenine and guanine (Purines) metabolism are excreted by man as

A

Ammonia

B

Urea

C

Uric acid

D

Allantois

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
( c) Main sources of uric acid are purines. Purines like adenine and Guanine change into xanthine which change into uric acid
`"Adenine"rarroverset("Guanine")overset(dowN//Arroe)"xanthine"rarr"uric acid"` Nitrogenous waste substances such as Ammonia, urea, or uric aicd are produced during protein metabolism according to the species. Small amout of nitrogenous waste substance are also produced during the metabolism of uncleic acids. Ammonia is the most toxic followed by urea and uric acid the latter is the least toxic.

Read the below Statements about the structure of genetic material and identify the correct ones. I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure , cytosine, thymine and uracil are based with a single ring structure . II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA , DNA adenine pairs with uracil and RNA adenine pairs with thymine. III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesised during transcription follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine. IV. The two Polynucleotides on a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are parallel to each other.
