Concept explainers
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that temperature, at which the process of denaturation occurs, if the salt concentration of the given solution is increased, is to be suggested.
Concept introduction: DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is highly charged polyanion. The structure of DNA is double helix which is given by famous scientists James Watson and Francis Crick. Two
Denaturation is a process in which, if solution of DNA is heated, it separates into individual strands.
