Answer:

B. A purine always bonds with a pyrimidine.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides each of which has a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and phosphate group. There are two types of nitrogenous bases present in DNA. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases and have two rings in their structure while the cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidine bases with a single ring structure.

A purine base of one DNA strand always pairs with the pyrimidine base of another DNA strand. Adenine (purine) makes two hydrogen bonds with thymine (pyrimidine) while guanine (purine) makes three hydrogen bonds with cytosine (pyrimidine). The pairing of a purine with a pyrimidine base keeps the diameter of a DNA double helix uniform throughout the length. For instance, the diameter of B-DNA is around 20 angstrom.

What is most likely a product of an early gene?
HACTEHA [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following is most likely a product of an early gene?

A capsid proteins

B DNA polymerase

C envelope proteins

D spike proteins

E lysozyme

Answer:

DNA polymerase .

Explanation:

Early gene may be defined as the gene that are activated immediately and the representation of this gene is important for the particular mechanism of the cell.

The DNA polymerase is the product of the early gene as the DNA polymerase is an important enzyme that are required for the DNA replication and can give immediate response to the different stimuli during the process of DNA replication.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
