- BOnly 1 is correct
- COnly 1 is incorrect
- DBoth 1 and 3 are correct
Correct answer
A. All are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Adenine and Guanine are substituted purines while uracil, cytosine and thymine are substituted pyrimidines ,"In the absence of any enzyme this reaction is very slow, with about 200 molecules of H2CO3 being formed in an hour. However, by using the enzyme present within the cytoplasm called carbonic anhydrase, the reaction speeds dramatically with about 600,000 molecules being formed every second."
