When the temperature of a solution of DNA is raised to near the boiling point of water, the optical density, (called absorbance) at 260 nm markedly increases, a phenomenon known as hyperchromicity. Which of the following properties gets changed due to subsequent denaturation of the DNA molecule?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The solutions of native DNA exhibit high viscosity because of the relatively rigid double helical, long and rod like character of DNA molecule. Denaturation causes a marked decrease in viscosity.

  2. Denaturation of DNA double helix can also be brought about by certain chemical agents such as urea and formamide. These chemical reagents enhance the aqueous solubility of the purine and pyrimidine groups.

  3. Double-stranded DNA shows a strong positive rotation which highly decreases with denaturation. This change is analogous to the change in rotation observed when the proteins are denatured.

  4. All of the above

Predator has carrying capacity

Following some observation are given
The number of prey, N, increase at low predator densities, P, and decrease at high predator densities
Prey zero isoclines is depends on the ratio of the growth rate of prey to the capture efficiency of the predators
 Number of predator needed for prey isoclines is depends on the ratio of the death rate of predators to the conversion efficiency of predators
Number of predator for prey isoclines depends on the ratio of the death rate of prey to the conversion efficiency of predators
Which of the above observation are true?

For two species A and B in competition, the carrying capacities, competition coefficients, per capita growth rate and population size are

KA = 1000           KB = 1200    α of B= 1     β of A= .5       rB= .5         r A= .3                

AN= 500                  BN= 200

According to the Lotka-Voltera model, what is growth rate of species A?
