What are the four nitrogen bases that make up the rungs of the double helix?
In DNA, the four bases are: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?
Its Hydrogen Bonds that hold the two strands of the DNA double helix together.
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
What are the steps on the DNA ladder are called?
they are made of the four nitrogen bases (adenine + thymine and cytosine+guanine)
How do nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?
Yes, it is found in pairs Adenine with Thymine and Guanine with Cytosine...they are directly across from each other (horizontally) on the DNA line ( also known as a double helix) there can be many of these on one double helix
What is nitrogen bases role in DNA?
the hydrogen bonds btw nitrogenous bases leads to stability of the double helix
In the Watson-Crick model of a double helix the steps of the spiral staircase are composed of?
Nitrogen Bases.
Enzymes that open the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases is what?
Helicase.
What kind of bond holds the two strands of the double helix together?
Hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases hold the double helix together.
What are the four nitrogen bases that make up the rungs of the double helix?
In DNA, the four bases are: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
Hydrogen bonds are found in DNA?
yes, hydrogen bonds are what connects the double helix together. hydrogen bonds for between the nitrogen bases on each DNA strand. nitrogen bases are: - Cytosine (C) - Thymine (T) - Guanine (G) - Adenins (A)
What is a complimentary base and how are they complimentary?
Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix. Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix.
What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?
Its Hydrogen Bonds that hold the two strands of the DNA double helix together.
What are nitrogen bases attached to?
Nitrogen bases attach to deoxyribose sugar, in nucleotides.
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
What is the name given to the bond between the bases which holds the DNA double helix together?
the bases are paired by hydrogen bounds
What holds to strands of DNA molecule to each other?
The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen base pairs.
