On complete hydrolysis of DNA we will get all the following except______________?

Correct answer: C. Adenosine

  • A. Deoxy pentose sugar
  • B. Phosphoric acid
  • C. Adenosine
  • D. Purine bases

Explanation

Complete DNA hydrolysis yields deoxyribose, phosphoric acid and nitrogenous bases such as adenine and guanine. Adenosine is a nucleoside containing adenine plus ribose, so it is not a direct product of DNA hydrolysis.
