How do you recognise that it is deoxyribose nucleic acid?

Answer Posted / rakesh

DNA is having double helix structure it is having two
spirally coiled chains which looks like ladder.
these chains actually are made up of sugars and nitrogen
bases .In between these chains 4 nitrogen bases are present.
They are adenine,guanine,thiamine,cytosine.Adenine always
pairs with thiamine by two hydrogen bonds where as guanine
always pairs with cytosine by three hydrogen bonds.
By all these fatures one can distuinguish that it is DNA.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
