They are mirror images of each other hence, are enantiomers. They are aldohexoses too ( aldehyde group + six carbon ).

In disaccharides, if the reducing groups of monosaccharides i.e. aldehydic or ketonic groups are bonded, these are non-reducing sugars. Which of the following disaccharide is a non-reducing sugar?
In option (B), two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic linkage between $$C{\text{ - }}1$$ of $$\alpha $$ - glucose and $$C{\text{ - 2}}$$ of $$\beta $$ - fructose.

In $$DNA,$$ the complementary bases are
A
adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine
B
uracil and adenine, cytosine and guanine
C
adenine and guanine, thymine and cytosine
D
adenine and thymine, guanine and uracil
Answer :
adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine
$$DNA$$ has a double helical structure. These helix contains polynucleotide chains and these chains are held together by hydrogen bonds. In these polynucleotide chain of $$DNA,$$ adenine has thymine opposite to it and guanine has cytosine opposite to it.
245.
A sequence of how many nucleotides in messenger $$RNA$$ makes a codon for an amino acid?
A sequence of three nucleotides in messenger $$RNA$$ makes a codon for an amino acid because four bases in messenger $$RNA$$ adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil have been shown to act in the form of triplet.

$$D{\text{ - }}\left( + \right){\text{ - }}$$ glucose reacts with hydroxyl amine and yields an oxime. The structure of the oxime would be
$$D{\text{ - }}\left( + \right){\text{ - }}$$ glucose contains aldehydic group which reacts with hydroxyl amine $$\left( {N{H_2}OH} \right)$$ to yield an oxime. The complete reaction is
247.
The reason for double helical structure of $$DNA$$ is the operation of :
The two polynucleotide chains of $$DNA$$ molecules are twisted around a common axis but run in opposite directions to form a right handed helix. The two chains are joined together by specific hydrogen bonds.

Two vitamins absorbed from intestine along with fats are
Starch is a mixture of two components, one is water soluble component called amylose (20%) and another is water insoluble component called amylopectin (80%).
