Which of the following statements about DNA is FALSE?

Biology
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A) The two strands of a DNA molecule are parallel and complementary.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of nucleotide and this nucleotide are made up of a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. In DNA genetic information of the cell is stored in the form of nitrogenous bases.

DNA is double-stranded and both the strands run anti-parallel with each other.  This anti-parallel orientation provides the nitrogenous base of one strand to form hydrogen bonds with the nitrogenous base present on the opposite strand.

In DNA adenine base pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds and guanine base pairs with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds. So the false statement is A.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

Explanation:

A mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene in a cell as caused by mistake during replication or induced by a mutation causing substance. These mutation-causing substances are called MUTAGEN.

A MUTAGEN is any substance that causes genetic mutation in an organism's cell. These changes in the nucleotide sequence can affect one or more phenotypic characteristics of the affected organism, which is also passed to offsprings because it is a genetic change.

Hence, a plant cell exposed to this mutagen will be induced to mutate.

Hence, the cells changing after being exposed to the chemical, which is also passed to the next generation of cells best provides explanation that the chemical is a MUTAGEN.
