Do the two double helices following DNA replication have the same or a different composition?
They should be identical to the original DNA that underwent replication.

Do the two DNA double helices following DNA replication have the same or different composition?
After DNA replication, the two DNA double helices have the same composition as the original DNA molecule. Each new double helix consists of one original strand (the template strand) and one newly synthesized strand (the complementary strand). This ensures that the genetic information is faithfully preserved and passed on to the daughter cells.
Why is DNA replication called semi conservative?
DNA replication of one helix of DNA results in two identical helices. If the original DNA helix is calledthe "parental" DNA, the two resulting helices can be called "daughter" helices. Each of these two daughter helices is a nearly exact copy of the parental helix (it is not 100% the same due to mutations).DNA creates "daughters" by using the parental strands of DNA as a template or guide. Each newly synthesized strand of DNA (daughter strand) is made by the addition of a nucleotide that is complementary to the parent strand of DNA. In this way, DNA replication is semi-conservative, meaning that one parent strand is always passed on to the daughter helix of DNA.
What is the plural of helix?
The plural of helix is helices.
Why are the double helices identical to the original double helix?
Theoretically because the same nitrogen bases match either side of the helix, and since there is only one base to match each base, each of the replicated helices should come out identically. However, in practice this doesn't perform perfectly. Every replication has its share of mutations and where they occur is completely random. While the cell takes every precaution to prevent as much mutations as possible, some do go unnoticed. In reality, the two helices are closer to being 99.9999% identical. Some have put the accuracy of DNA replication to 1 mistake per billion nucleotides added.
Where can one find more information about alpha helices?
One can find information about alpha helices in your local library.You could find about all other helices in that category and how they are used in life.
What are the coils of the DNA?
Double helices .
What is the singular of the word helices?
helix
What are the major differences between semi-conservative and conservative replication?
According to the conservative mode, of the two double helices formed one would be entirely of old material and the other entirely of new material. Thus the old parent double helix would be unchanged. According to the semi Conservative mode proposed by Watson and Crick, each strand of the two double helices formed would have one old and one new strand
What type of structure does hemoglobin have?
Alpha helices
During dna replication each double helix produced consists of?
During DNA replication, each double helix produced consists of one original parental strand and one newly synthesized daughter strand. The parental strand serves as a template for the synthesis of the complementary daughter strand, resulting in two identical double helices.
Can carbohydrates contain pleated sheets and helices?
No , these are present in proteins .
Is helix singular or plural?
Helix is singular. Helices is plural.
