Select the correct option: Refer to the given reactions. (i) Adenine + X$$\rightarrow$$ Adenosine (ii) Adenosine+ Y$$\rightarrow$$ Adenylic acid What does X and Y represent here?
On an average, how many purine N$$_2$$ bases are present in single coil of DNA
DNA is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides which do not generally exist as a single molecule but as pairs of molecules held tightly together in double strands in a entwined in a helix model. The nucleotides of DNA has a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. The nucleotide is named as per the nitrogenous base and is either a purine or a pyrimidine. The purines are paired with a pyrimidine in a double helix and has 10.5 pairs. hence a single coil of DNA will on an average have 10 purine N2 bases.
