  1. DNA shows hyperchromicity on:
    1. heating
    2. cooling
    3. crystallizing
    4. 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.
