    D)                  None of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     All the combinations are correct: On the basis of presence or absence of certain antigens, ABO blood group was established by K Landsteiner in human. Rh factor was discovered by Landsteiner and Wiener in 1940. Chargaff et al; described that: (i) The base composition of DNA is different in different species. (ii) Number of purine bases is equal to number of pyrimidine bases irrespective of species. ie,  A + G = T + C (iii) Ratio between the number of adenine plus thymine and guanine plus cytosine is characteristic of species and hence differ in different species               A + T: G + C In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick postulated a space-filling 3 dimensional model of DNA structure.
