Question

Statement I : If each strand from a parental DNA acts as template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded daughter DNA thus produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule.
Statement II : The length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculated simply by multiplying the total number of bp with distance between two consecutive bp.

• A. Both statements I and II are correct and II explains I
• B. Both statements I and II are correct and II does not explain I
• C. Statement I is true and statement II is false
• D. Both statements I and II are false

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

• If each strand from a parental DNA acts as template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded daughter DNA thus produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule.
• The length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculated simply by multiplying the total number of bp with distance between two consecutive bp.
