Provide a logical explanation that DNA exhibits hyperchroicity upon heating |
|
Answer» When DNA in SOLUTION is heated above its melting temperature (USUALLY more than 80 °C), the double-stranded DNA unwinds to form single-stranded DNA. The BASES become unstacked and can thus absorb more LIGHT. ... Hyperchromicity can be used to track the condition of DNA as temperature changes. |
