The carrier of genetic information is

Assertion : $DNA$ is associated with proteins.
Reason : $DNA$ binds around histone proteins that form a pool and the entire structure is called a nucleosome.

The distance between two adjacent base pairs in a $DNA$ helix is

Which sugar is present in the structure of $DNA$?

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 $m$)

In his experiments on the chemistry of $DNA$,Chargaff estimated the base composition of human sperms and found that Adenine constituted $31\%$ and Guanine $19\%$. The quantity of Cytosine in the $DNA$ of human somatic cell is likely to be (in $\%$)
