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

A

The antiarallel nature

B

The semiconservative nature

C

D

Uniform length in all DNA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Each base pair consists of a purine and a pyrimidine. The nuclestides in a base pair are complementary which means their shapes allow them to bond together with hydrogen bones. The A – T pair form two hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together
