Answer:

e. Purines pair with pyrimidines

Explanation:

Diameter of DNA double helix is uniform through out the structure and it is 2 nm. This uniformity is due to the base pairing between a purine and a pyramidine. Purine base is made of two rings and pyramidine base has a single ring. All the bases are either derived from purine or from pyramidine structure and a purine always pairs with pyramidine. Two purines or two pyramidines can not pair with each other. So at any point along the DNA molecule, the sugar phosphate backbones always have three ring structure between them, hence the uniform diameter.

patriot [66]
Homologous types of chromosomes pair together to form a bivalent. They undergo synapsis which is the process of pairing. In each bivalent. there would be a total of two centromeres  and  four sister chromatids. crossing over is the term used for the  physical exchange of material between two homologous chromosomes. A<span> chiasma</span><span> is the visible evidence that exchange of genetic material occured.</span>
