These forms can exists at different sections on the same strand but never simultaneously at the same region since they contradict each other. The vast majority of DNA is in the B form.
B-DNA is a right-handed double helix that twists 360 degrees every 10.0 base pairs.
Z-DNA is a left-handed double helix (this causes the phosphate backbone to zigzag) there are about 12.0 base pairs per 360 degree turn. This form contains extended repeats of G-C base pairs. Organisms do show evidence of having Z-DNA in living cells but its physiological role is currently unknown (although recently it has been hypothesized to play a part in gene control).

Difference between Z-DNA and B-DNA?
B DNA is the normal kind where it twists in what is called a right hand fashion. Z DNA is twisted in the opposite direction.
What form of DNA is most stable A B or Z?
B form of DNA is more stable because all physiological condition within the cell support this form of DNA
What is the difference between Z-DNA and B-DNA?
Z-DNA is usually found in areas with alternating purine and pyrimidine bases (ie. -ATATAT- ). When you look at it from the side, Z-DNA zig-zags toward the top left of the page/screen (This is essentially what it means when you read "left-handed helical form"), compared to B-DNA ("right-handed") which spins toward the top right. If you look at the top looking down the center of the molecule, B-DNA has no hole in the center (like in A-DNA) and is arranged with the bases in the middle, then the sugar, and then finally the phosphate backbone is at the edges. Z-DNA also lacks a hole in the center, but due to the zig-zagging structure, there is no definite area to locate the bases, sugar, and phosphate backbone -- they are all jumbled up together.
When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?
DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.
How do you differentiate practically between A form B form and Z form of DNA?
you ask yo mama

What is the difference between AB and Z DNA?
It's the different shapes of the DNA molecule. B would be more rectangular with more height than width whereas the other two would be more of a different shape.
If x equals a-b y equals b-c z equals c-a then the value of x plus y plus z x plus y plus z is?
x + y + z = 0 x = a - b, y = b - c, z = c - a, therefore a - b + b - c + c - a = ? a - a + b - b + c - c = 0
If z equals a plus ib then show that arg conjugate of z equals 2pi -arg z?
If z = a + ib then arg(z) = arctan(b/a) Let z' denote the conjugate of z. Therefore, z' = a - ib Then arg(z') = arctan(-b/a) = 2*pi - arctan(b/a) = 2*pi - arg(z)
What are some Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness Action Replay codes?
All Pokemon code: a b r l z b b lots of money: a b r r z z a a b b every pokeball: a a b z r l r a able to catch every 3rd and/or 2nd evolution Pokemon: a z a a b b r l ***DO NOT FOLLOW THIS. THIS IS A HOAX.***
Is the operation of multiplication associative over z?
Yes it is. a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c for all a, b and c in Z.
What is the word for the z shaped line that separates the DNA in DNA replication and starts with a p?
phosphate
