Denaturation of double stranded DNA involves_______________?
Correct answer: C. It becomes single stranded reversibly
- A. It gets broken down to nucleotides
- B. It becomes single stranded irreversibly
- C. It becomes single stranded reversibly
- D. It becomes double stranded irreversibly
Explanation
Denaturation separates the two complementary DNA strands by disrupting hydrogen bonds, without breaking the covalent backbone. The strands can reassociate when suitable conditions are restored, so the process is reversible.
