In the following statements, one word per statement is underlined. This word can be changed to obtain the correct statement. In which one it should not be changed?

A

In the living world `ul("all")` organisms have DNA as the genetic material which can be transmitted from one generation to another.

B

Purine pyrimidine ratio in Ribose Nucleic Acid can `ul("never")` be equal to 1.

C

The 3rd carbon atom and the 5th carbon atom of `ul("all")`nucleotides in DNA are involved in the formation of phosphodiester bond.

D

Monocyclic nitrogen bases `ul("always")` form weak hydrogen bonds with dicyclic nitrogen bases in B - DNA.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement and determine which underlined word can remain unchanged without altering the correctness of the statement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **First Statement**: "In the living world, all organisms have **DNA** as genetic materials, which can be transmitted from one generation to another." - Here, the word "DNA" can be changed to "RNA" because some organisms, like certain viruses, have RNA as their genetic material. 2. **Second Statement**: "Purine-Pyramidine Ratio in **ribose-nucleic acid** can never be equal to one." - The term "ribose-nucleic acid" can be changed to "deoxyribonucleic acid" (DNA) because the purine-pyrimidine ratio can be equal to one in certain conditions. 3. **Third Statement**: "The third carbon atom and the fifth carbon atom of all **nucleotide** in DNA are involved in the formation of phosphodiester bond." - The word "nucleotide" can be changed to "nucleic acids" because the statement is not entirely accurate as both the first and third carbons can participate in bond formation. 4. **Fourth Statement**: "A **monocyclic** nitrogen base always forms weak hydrogen bonds with **di-cyclic** nitrogen bases in B-DNA." - The word "always" in this context is accurate because monocyclic bases (like cytosine and thymine) do indeed form hydrogen bonds with di-cyclic bases (like adenine and guanine) in B-DNA. This statement does not require any changes. ### Conclusion: The underlined word that should not be changed is "always" in the fourth statement. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is the fourth statement.
