The types of helixes found in DNA?
a double helix
What is a single helix molecule?
A DNA molecule has the shape of a double-stranded helix.
How many double helical twists does a DNA have?
Your entire genome is coiled into a double helixes and these are intern coiled up further.
Will you survive if you combine spider DNA with human DNA?
yes and you will become the real life spiderman
Why did Francis Crick and James Watson win the Nobel Prize in Medicine?
Because they both discovered the double helixes and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
What role do the 4 bases play in DNA?
the 2 will split part on each helix and 2 new helixes will be formed using the same genetic sequence
Can people mix spider DNA with your own?
Well clearly they can, just look at Spiderman!
Why do eukaryotic genes have introns but introns are absent from prokaryotic cells?
Look at the sheer amount of DNA that is contained into a eukaryotic gene (eukaryotes have more DNA to code for and so they can leave some of the DNA out, also look at the way the DNA is formed i.e. Eukaryotic genes are double stranded helixes and prokayrotic genes are a single strand of circular dna.
DNA transcription is another word for DNA replication?
No, transcription and replication are different. DNA replication is the process where one double helix of DNA is duplicated into two identical double helixes which are also identical to the mother DNA. RNA transcription is the process by which a messenger RNA copy of the active strand of a DNA helix is created.I hope that helps.
Is DNA your friend?
Deoxyribonucleic acid is the full name for DNA. And Yes it is your best friend, it is the computer-type code in each of the cells in your body, that tells how you are made up.
What is the function of DNA polymerase III?
three different roles in DNA polymerase are 1. binding of enzymes to existing DNA 2. Unwinding of the double helix 3. Synthesis of a new matching strand for each existing strand
What holds the two helixes in a DNA molecule together?
First off - it is important to understand that a nucleotide (the monomer of DNA) is composed of 3 things: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Next - understand that the "backbone" of DNA is composed of the sugars and phosphates. That leaves you with nitrogenous bases. Hydrogen bonds form between the nitrogenous bases off opposite strands in the double helix. THIS is what holds the double helix together.
