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.

Does DNA code for other DNA?

I believe that DNA replicates by using Enzymes which fit Nucleotides into a long string, thus creating a new Chromosome or a new DNA Strand. So in conclusion, Yes they do code new DNA Strands.

DNA replication result in identical chromosomes?

More DNA. The DNA unzips and then makes more from the code that genes give, It has to fit A with T and C with G. Mutations happen when the DNA does not unzip on time and the new DNA still sticks to the DNA that was supposed to unzip

How does six feet of DNA fit into the nucleus?

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is bunched up and wound together in order to fit into the nucleolus. It is very thin, so it occupies a small space. It is almost as thin, even thinner, than one strand of hair.


How is it possible to fit so much DNA into a small nucleus?

DNA is packed with the help of histone proteins, which condense the DNA into a more compact structure called chromatin. This chromatin then coils and loops to further condense, allowing a large amount of DNA to fit into the nucleus. Additionally, the nucleus contains specialized regions, like the nucleolus and nuclear matrix, that help organize and support the DNA.


What is a thymine dimer?

Is a DNA lesion caused by UV light irradiation. When DNA strand is exposed to UV light, adjacent pyrimidine residues on a DNA strand can become covalently linked. Such pyrimidine dimers cannot fit into a double helix, and so replication and gene expression are blocked until the lesion is removed. This kind of lesions are common and therefore DNA is continually being repaired by specific enzymes that make the job.


How long strands of double helical DNA fit into the nucleus of a single cheek cell?

The DNA in a single cheek cell is typically around 1.8 meters long when fully extended. To fit into the nucleus, this long DNA strand is tightly packaged and coiled around proteins to form chromatin. This allows the DNA to be efficiently stored and organized within the limited space of the nucleus.


What is DNA length?

The length of DNA can vary depending on the organism and the specific chromosomal region. In humans, the total length of DNA in each cell is about 6 feet when stretched out, but it is tightly coiled and packaged to fit into the cell nucleus. The DNA in each cell is organized into structures called chromosomes, with the longest human chromosome containing around 250 million base pairs.


How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?

The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.
