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.
