Why can you predict the base sequences and a DNA molecule of DNA if you know the sequence of the other strand?

You can predict the base seqences of a DNA molecule if you know what one strand is, because of double Stranded DNA. Each strand matches up with a letter and repeats a pattern throught the entire DNA strand.


During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?

CCAATTG


At the end of replication each new DNA molecule is composed of?

After DNA replication, each new molecule has one strand of the original DNA molecule and the other strand is composed of new nucleic acids. This is due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA.


How does each separated strand begin a new strand?

With a small piece of primer,and active polymerase(enzyme) it replicates the complementary strand of the DNA


In the semi-conservative hyposistyesis of DNA replication what proportion of a parent DNA strand is contained by each daughter DNA strand?

The replication is semiconservative. Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule by the sequential addition of complementary base pairs, thereby generating a new DNA strand that is the complementary sequence to the parental DNA. Each daughter DNA molecule ends up with one of the original strands and one newly synthesized strand.


Are chromosomes strands of DNA?

Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.


Can DNA be described as conservation?

DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each new DNA molecule has one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.


How DNA replicates?

DNA first unwinds by the polymerase into two strands, then polymerases run over the two strands, replace a new strand on each old strand, forming two new DNA with one new strand and one original strand in each. (The polymerase is the enzyme)


During dna replication each double helix produced consists of?

one parent strand and one new strand of DNA.


How does anticodon know where to fit on the DNA strand?

The anticodon only has one place to fit on the DNA strand. Positioning is very specific for each of the chemicals on a DNA strand. None of them will fit in place of any other.


DNA consists of how many chains?

A DNA molecule has two chains of nucleotides. Each chain is usually referred to as a DNA strand. RNA has only one strand.


At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces what is the strand of DNA?

The lagging stand~Brainly
