The correct answer is option 2: 3 and 4 only
Let`s dissect each option to better understand why this is the correct answer:
Option 1: 1, 2, and 3 only: This option states that DNA is the hereditary material of all living organisms (which is correct), all segments of DNA code for synthesis of proteins (which is incorrect, as not all segments of DNA code for proteins. Some segments are non-coding or have regulatory functions), and nuclear DNA is double helical with two nucleotide chains that run anti-parallel (which is correct).
Option 2: 3 and 4 only: This option states that nuclear DNA is double helical with two nucleotide chains that run anti-parallel (which is correct) and DNA is also found in mitochondria (which is correct, as mitochondria have their own DNA).
Option 3: 1, 3, and 4 only: This option states that DNA is the hereditary material of all living organisms (which is correct), nuclear DNA is double helical with two nucleotide chains that run anti-parallel (which is correct), and DNA is also found in mitochondria (which is correct). This option includes all the correct statements.
