Structure of DNA and RNA - Competitive Exam Level

Download Q&A

This section is designed for students preparing for competitive examinations where precision, depth, and speed are essential. It focuses on the most frequently tested and high-yield aspects of DNA and RNA structure, with strong emphasis on NCERT line-based understanding and exam-oriented practice.

In this section, you will study:

  • High-yield features of DNA double helix and base pairing

  • Tricky distinctions between DNA and RNA structure

  • Structural variations such as A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA

  • NCERT-based MCQs on nucleotide composition and polarity

  • Assertion–reason and multi-statement questions

  • Common conceptual traps related to nucleic acid structure

  • Previous year question patterns and exam-focused practice sets

The content is structured to improve accuracy, conceptual clarity, and exam temperament, helping students confidently tackle high-difficulty MCQs and theory-based questions in NEET and other competitive entrance exams.

Build a competitive edge by mastering the structure of DNA and RNA through focused, exam-oriented preparation.
