∙ 12y agoOne method is to use gel electrophoresis. This involves placing the sample of DNA in a well on a gel (usually agarose) and running an electric current through it. DNA has a net negative charge and so will migrate towards the positive electrode. Larger sections of DNA migrate more slowly, and so different bands will separate on the basis of size.
By running a standard (with fragments of known size) next to the unknown, you can determine how many bp there are in the unknown.

The unit of a DNA molecule which is made up of a nitrogen carrying base a sugar molecule and a phosphate group is called a what?
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. When broken to the smallest unit it is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide of both DNA and RNA is up of a sugar molecule which is attached to a phosphate group and a base. The bases of DNA are thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA adenine is replace with uracil while it keeps thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In DNA adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. In RNA uracil pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
What is a nucleotide that pairs with guanine?
In DNA, nucleotide cytosine and guanine pairs with each other. Nucleotide adenine and thymine also pairs with each other. However in RNA, the thymine is not present, so in its place, uracil pairs with adenine.
What nucleotide pairs with T with C?
T ( thymine ) pairs with A ( adenine ) and C (cytosine ) pairs with G (guanine ).
What forms the steps of a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule consists of paired nucleotides that make each "rung" of the ladder. Each nucleotide is made up of a one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine), a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2'-deoxyribose), and a phosphate molecule.
The DNA language consists of a linear sequence of nucleotide?
Pairs
What parts of the nucleotide make up the rungs of the DNA molecule?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
What part of the nucleotide make up the rungs of the DNA molecule?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
What parts of the nucleotide make up the middle of the DNA molecule?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
What part of the nucleotide make up the rungs middle of the DNA molecule?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Which nucleotide is always pared paired with adenine in a dna molecule?
In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine.

What determine the molecule geometry of a molecule?
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
What is a nucleotide that pairs with guanine?
In DNA, nucleotide cytosine and guanine pairs with each other. Nucleotide adenine and thymine also pairs with each other. However in RNA, the thymine is not present, so in its place, uracil pairs with adenine.
What factors affect bond angle of a molecule?
Type of hybridizationthe number of lone pairs and bond pairs
Number of phosphates in DNA molecule with five base pairs?
Two.
What nucleotide pairs with T with C?
T ( thymine ) pairs with A ( adenine ) and C (cytosine ) pairs with G (guanine ).
How many bond pairs of electrons exist in a molecule of ammonia?
There are a infinitely growing number of bond pairs between atoms.
