Question
Chapter 25, Problem 8PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The intermediate formed during the conversion of adenine to hypoxanthine, hydrogen bonds of hypoxanthine-cytosine base pair and the consequences it would have through two rounds of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Normally, in DNA, adenine pairs with thymine by forming two hydrogen bonds. On treatment with nitrous acid, amino group of adenine undergoes changes to form diazonium and finally gets removed.
▸ Hypoxanthine forms two hydrogen bonds with cytosine instead of thymine. This mispairing then passes on to the daughter DNA formed during replication and further brings about permanent changes (mutations).

Which statement best explains the chemical differencesbetween DNA and RNA?

(c) TheRNA sugar–phosphate backbone contains fewer oxygenatoms than DNA’s backbone. (d) DNA forms double helicesbut RNA cannot.
