Biology · Biological Molecules

How many hydrogen bonds form between guanine and cytosine in DNA?

A3
B1
C2
D4
Show answer

A. 3: G–C pairs are held by 3 hydrogen bonds and A–T pairs by 2, which is why GC-rich DNA is more stable.

Chemistry · Acids & Bases

The pH of a 0.01 M HCl solution is:

A0.01
B12
C1
D2
Show answer

D. 2: HCl ionises completely, so [H⁺] = 10⁻² M and pH = −log(10⁻²) = 2.

Physics · Current Electricity

Two 2 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. Their equivalent resistance is:

A4 Ω
B0.5 Ω
C1 Ω
D2 Ω
Show answer

C. 1 Ω: 1/R = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1, so R = 1 Ω. For n identical resistors in parallel, R = r / n.
