The structure of $$DNA$$ molecule is a double helical structure. In this structure double helix are made up of two right handed helical polynucleotide chains which are held together by $$H$$ - bonds. In these helixes the adenine $$(A)$$ base is linked with thymine $$(T)$$ by two $$H$$ - bonds and guanine $$(G)$$ is linked with cytocine $$(C)$$ by three $$H$$ - bonds as $$A = T,$$ and $$G \equiv C.$$

Vitamin $${B_2},$$ a water soluble vitamin is also known as
Glucose being an aldose responds to Tollen’s test while fructose, although a ketose, undergoes rearrangement in presence of basic medium ( provided by Tollen’s reagent ) to form glucose, which then responds to Tollen’s test.

Which of the following is not true about amino acids?
A
They are constituents of all proteins.
B
Alanine having one amino and one carboxylic group.
C
Most naturally occurring amino acids have $$D$$ - configuration.
D
Glycine is the only naturally occurring amino acid which is optically inactive.
Answer :
Most naturally occurring amino acids have $$D$$ - configuration.
First molecule of phenylhydrazine unedrgoes nucleophilic addition on carbonyl ( $$-CHO$$ in glucose and $$ > CO$$ in fructose ) group. Second molecule of the reagent oxidizes $$ - CHOH - $$ at position 2 ( in aldoses ) or $$ - C{H_2}OH$$ at position 1 ( in ketoses ) to form $$ - CHO$$ or $$ > C = O$$ respectively. The third molecule again undergoes nucleophilic addition on the newly developed carbonyl group to form osazone.
