The following is correct about H-bonding in
nucleotide: A --- T and G --- C
-The structure of the DNA molecule is like a double helix structure
-In this structure, double helix is made up of chains of polynucleotide that are held together by H-bonds
-In these helix, four bases are present namely adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T)
- In these helix, the adenine (A) base is linked with thymine (T) by two H-bonds as A≡T and guanine (G) is joined with cytosine (C) by three H-bonds as G≡C
- So the correct answer is option (d)
