Solution
The correct option is D Unpaired bases
- The simplest DNA end of a double-stranded molecule is called a blunt end.
- In a blunt-ended molecule, both strands terminate in a base pair.
- Non-blunt ends are created by various overhangs.
- An overhang is a stretch of unpaired nucleotides at the end of a DNA molecule.
- These unpaired nucleotides can be in either strand, creating either 3' or 5' overhangs. Longer overhangs are called cohesive ends or sticky ends.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
