Chargaff's rule

Vedclass · Answer

(B) : Chargaff's rules are applicable only for double-stranded $DNA$ molecules. These are not applicable for single-stranded $DNA$ or $RNA$ molecules. Chargaff's rules state that $DNA$ helices contain equal molar ratios of $A$ and $T$,and $G$ and $C$. This is because in a double-stranded $DNA$ molecule,complementary base pairing occurs between $A$ and $T$,and $C$ and $G$ base pairs. This specific complementary base pairing is not possible in the case of a single-stranded $RNA$ molecule. Thus,Chargaff's rules are not applicable to $RNA$.
