The fact that a purine base always paired through hydrogen bonds with a pyrimidine base leads to, in the DNA double helix

A

the antiparallel nature

B

the semiconservative nature

C

uniform width throughout DNA

D

uniform length in all DNA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

the diameter of the strand is always constant due to a pairing of purine (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidine (cytosine and thymine ). This specific bonding gives uniform width to the DNA.
