The name of the shape of DNA is called double helix. There are two long strands of DNA connected in several points. These strands twist and look like a spiral or a spring.

What does semi-conservative model mean?
Refers to semi-conservative replication of DNA. One strand of the old DNA is used as a template to replicate the other, new, strand of DNA. Thus you have four from two, but two of the four are old strands while the other two strands are new. Thus the name semi-conservative replication.
What must happen to a DNA molecule before RNA ploymerase can make RNA?
The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand. The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand.
What did Francis Crick invent?
Francis Crick discovered the Double Helix, the DNA strand.
What is the complementary sequence to the DNA strand TCGATGG?
AGCTACC. Thymine pairs with adenine and cytosine pairs with guanine.
The direction of synthesis of an RNA transcript is?
transcription:"the first step in protein synthesis, a sequence of nucleotide bases becomes exposed in an unwound region of a DNA strand. That sequence acts as a template upon which a single strand of RNA - a transcript - is synthesized from free nucleotides."The synthesis of an RNA molecule from the DNA template strand is called transcription.
What shape is a DNA strand?
A DNA strand is shaped like a 'double helix'.
What is the term for the DNA strand that acts as a pattern to the newly synthesized DNA?
template strand
What shape does the DNA strand have?
A double helix.
What molecule has the shape of a double strand helix?
DNA, and the shape is also known as a double helix.
What is a long continuous strand of DNA that contains genes often see in the shape of an x when with its homologous pa?
The dna strand is a exstractisies
How does the shape of the DNA differ from the shape of RNA?
It typically forms a single sometimes twisted strand, not a double helix like DNA.

Who are the first two to discover the shape of a DNA strand?
Watson and Crick
Is The lagging strand the strands of parental DNA?
which statement about dna replication is correct? A. the leading strand is one of the strands of parnetal Dna b. the leading strand is built continuously, and the lagging strand is built in pieces c. the lagging strand is one of the strands of parental Dna d. Dna ligase helps assemble the leading strand e. the lagging strand is built continuously
What is the strand?
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
What is a cell's complement of DNA called?
Be more clear with your question please. The complement of a single strand of DNA is the other strand. The complement to the single DNA strand "ATCGGTA" would be "TAGCCAT" The mRNA complement of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UAGCCAU The tRNA anticodon of the DNA strand ATCGGTA is UTCGGTU Hope that helps A cell's endovment of DNA, its genetic information is called its genome
What happens at the DNA replication fork?
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.
