The term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids. Only DNA forms a double helix because RNA is only single-stranded.

What are sides of a double helix made of?
the sides of a double helix are composed of a chain alternating between a phosphate and a deoxyribose (5 carbon) sugar.
What is a double helix DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.
Single helix is more stable as compared to the double helix?
like the computer single helix is 1g ram double helix like 2g ram so double helix more stable
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
How is double helix used in a sentence?
Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
What is major difference between normal DNA helix and RNA helix?
DNA is double stranded while RNA only has one strand.
What is the difference between single gene DNA and repetitive sequences of DNA?
DNA is double Helix But A Gene is a part of that double helix.
Difference between the DNA and RNA?
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
what is the shape of a DNA?
double helix
What are sides of a double helix made of?
the sides of a double helix are composed of a chain alternating between a phosphate and a deoxyribose (5 carbon) sugar.
How do helicases unwind a double helix?
Helicase uses free energy from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the double helix of the DNA. It breaks the bonds between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. This unzips the double helix structure.
How does the Double Helix use in DNA?
The function of the double helix in normal DNA (B-Dna) is easy attachment of histosomes for folding of the DNA, and thus important in the creation of chromatids.
What is the shape of the DNA molecule known as?
Double Helix :D
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
What kind of bond holds the two strands of the double helix together?
Hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases hold the double helix together.
What type of structure is the DNA?
Double Helix
What molecule has the shape of a double strand helix?
DNA, and the shape is also known as a double helix.
