The correct order of increasing bond angles in the following triatomic species is
Multiple Choice Options
- A adenine and guanine; thymine and cytosine
- B uracil and adenine; cytosine and guanine
- C adenine and thymine; guanine and cytosine
- D adenine and thymine; guanine and uracil.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
DNA contains two types of nitrogeneous
bases
Purine _ Adenine (A) and guanine (G)
Pyrimidine _ Cytosine (C) and thymine (T)
The purine and pyrimidine bases pair only in certain
combination. Adenine pairs with thymine (A : T) by
two hydrogen bonds and guanine with cytosine (G : C) by three hydrogen bonds.
