Biomolecules Question 13
Question: Denaturation of DNA is accompanied by the following changes except:
Options:
A) Increase in viscosity
B) Hyperchromicity
C) Unstacking of bases
D) Destabilisation of DNA helix
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Viscosity decreases when DNA is denatured.
The hyperchromacity is dye to unstacking of bases and strand separation.
Unwinding occurs due to disruption of hydrogen bonds.
