Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Z-DNA is left-handed double helix with zig-zag back - bone, alternate purine and pyrimidine bases, single turn of 45 A length with 12 base pairs and a single groove. Due to a different arrangement of molecules within Z - DNA polymer, phosphate backbone follows a zig-zag course, while in B - DNA it is regular. In Z - DNA, sugar residues have alternating orientation so that the repeating unit is a dinucleotide.
