What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What bond is between nucleic acids?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
What is the name of the linkage in nucleotides reaction?
Nucleotides are joined together with phosphodiester bonds.
How do you describe the basic structure of the DNA molecules?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides, arranged into a double helix, often referred to as a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate molecules, and the rungs of the ladder are the pairs of nitrogen bases. The two strands of DNA nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds which form between the paired nitrogen bases.
What is the bond that connects two strands together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of the double helix together.
Through which successive nucleotides are covalently linked?
phosphodiester bonds
Why does DNA have to have hydrogen bonds?
The hydrogen bonds between complimentary nitrogen bases hold the two strands of DNA nucleotides together.
What is a basepair?
A basepair is a pair of nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands which are connected via hydrogen bonds.
What types of linkage joins the nucleotides a within a single DNA strand and b between two single DNA strands?
Hydrogen Bonds
What is base-pairing?
A basepair is a pair of nucleotides on opposite complementary DNA or RNA strands which are connected via hydrogen bonds.
What happens in the bonding of two nucleotides?
Phophodiester bonds are the one that connect the nucleotides next to each other on the same strand. Weak hydrogen bonds join the two complementary nucleotides and thus the two strands of the DNA together.
What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What enzyme joins the nucleotides of a DNA strand together?
That depends on the process. During DNA replication, The nucleotides of the lagging strand (Okazaki fragments) are connected by DNA ligase. In transcription, the nucleotides of RNA are connected by RNA polymerase II.DNA Polymerse
What type of bond connects to the backbone of a DNA molecule?
The nucleotides are linked by peptide bonds - covalent bonds between the carbon in the carboxyl group and the nitrogen in the amino group. The double helix is formed by hydrogen bonds between the hydrogens and oxygens of two strands of nucleotides.
How do DNA strands join together?
The two strands are held together by Hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs (A to T and G to C). These bonds break, and the strands separate, when enough heat is added or the DNA is placed in an alkali environment.
How are nucleic acids held together?
Through covalent and hydrogen bonds. The covalent bonds hold the pentose sugar-phosphate backbone together and are alternatively called phosphodiester bonds. The hydrogen bonds are between the nitrogen bases and hold the "rungs" of the ladder together.
What bond is between nucleic acids?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
