Chemically, DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases. It is the sequence of these four bases along the backbone that encodes information. This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins.Within cells, DNA is organized into long structures called chromosomes, Within the chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA
A DNA structure is basically what genes are meant to be the DNA model stands for deoxribosenuleic acid

∙ 14y agoImagine a ladder on a hoe that has been twisted so that the vertical pieces twist around each other, but the rungs still go horizontally between them. The structure is called a double helix, and is common to all DNA.
The rungs are mixtures of four chemicals called nucleotides: adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine, or A, C, T, and G. A only links with T and C only links with G.

How much DNA does a human share with a potato?
Humans share very little with a potato. Chromosomes are a collection of DNA woven around protein. A chromosome may contain as many as 100,000 to billions of nucleotides in one chain. Chimpanzee and humans share a very SIMILAR DNA pattern, where as a potato and a human being don't. So although they both have 48 chromosomes, their DNA STUCTURE is vastly different.
What is the weak electrical attractions within polypeptide chains account for the protein's?
secondary stucture
Are flagella and chromatin related?
Technically yes, but only in the sense that without chromatin, you can't have flagella. Here is why: Chromatin is a structure of DNA. A cell is replicates, either by meiosis or mitosis, it first collects its DNA into organized structures to make the equal transfer between the two daughter cells easier. These structures, made of tightly coiled, inaccessable, highly organized bundles of DNA, are called chromatin. Once the cell divides, the chromatin unwinds, allowing the cell to access the DNA code again. Flagella are an external stucture on a cell's membrane. They are composed of proteins, which are made using an amino acid sequence encoded in the DNA. So, without the DNA (which has at some point been bundled into chromatin), you can't have flagella.
Which organ or stucture has a major hemolytic function?
The spleen has the hemolytic function of destroying worn-out red blood cells and releasing their hemoglobin for reuse.
What is a DNA molecule containing regions from different sources?
Chimeras. In genetic engineering, molecules of combined DNA are known as chimeras because they are produced by combining DNA from different species. Combined DNA is also known as recombinant DNA, since DNA from 2 sources has been recombined to produce it.
Which letter does not represent one of the possible bases in the DNA stucture?
B
What letters A B C G does not represent one of the possable basis in the DNA structure?
The letter B does not represent one of the possible basis in the DNA stucture. The letters A represent Adenine, G represent Guanine , C represent Cytosine and the 4th is T for Thymine.
What is an atomic stucture?

Can zommbies exist?
They cant exsist because u hve to change the moluculure struckture of dna which is impossible cuz u change a least one part of the dna stucture it will collapse or turn into ash and it will never happen no matter wut people say it wont happen.

What is the optimal capital structure?
optimal capital stucture is that where the firm value is high and the wacc of the firm is low and that capital structure a firm can follow constantly and that capital stucture not become a burdon on firm.
