Question

Which of the statements about 'Denaturation' given below are correct? (a) Denaturation of proteins causes loss of secondary and tertiary structures of the protein.
(b) Denaturation leads to the conversion of double strand of DNA into single strand.
(c) Denaturation affects the primary structure which gets destroyed.

• A. (ii) and (iii)
• B. (i) and (iii)
• C. (i) and (ii)
• D. (i) and (iii) are correct

Hint:

Denaturation causes proteins to lose their functional 3D structure but does not change the sequence of amino acids in the primary structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Denaturation of proteins disrupts their secondary and tertiary structures, but does not affect the primary structure. Denaturation can also involve the conversion of double-stranded DNA into single strands.

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct statements are (i) and (iii), corresponding to option (c).
