DNA shows hyperchromicity on:
-
- heating
- cooling
- crystallizing
- replication
Correct Option: A
When a DNA solution is heated enough, the doublestranded DNA unwinds, and the Hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together weaken and finally break. The process of breaking a double-stranded DNA into single strands is known as DNA denaturation, or DNA melting. The hyperchromicity of DNA occurs when the DNA duplex is denatured.
