In $DNA$,cytosine pairs with

Which component of the chromosome is responsible for carrying genetic information from one generation to the next?

$mRNA$ is a polymer of

Identify the correct features of $DNA$ from the following statements:
$(i)$ It is made of two polynucleotide chains.
(ii) The backbone is constituted by sugar and phosphate.
(iii) The two chains have anti-parallel polarity.
(iv) The bases in the two strands are linked through $H$-bonds.
$(v)$ Both chains are coiled in a right-handed fashion.

In an experiment,$DNA$ is treated with a compound that intercalates between the stacks of nitrogenous base pairs. As a result,the distance between two consecutive base pairs increases from $0.34 \, nm$ to $0.44 \, nm$. Calculate the length of the $DNA$ double helix (which has $2 \times 10^9 \, bp$) in the presence of a saturating amount of this compound. (in $m$)

Which structure consists of two polynucleotide chains forming a helical structure?
