The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of alternating deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. The nitrogen bases are bonded to the sugar molecules. The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases of both strands.

How does anticodon know where to fit on the DNA strand?

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.


What is the strand?

The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.


Which of the following is an enzyme needed to connect new bases to a growing strand of DNA A Connexin B Lactase C DNA polymerase D Helicase?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme needed to connect new bases to a growing strand of DNA during replication. It catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to the growing DNA strand in a complementary fashion. Connexin is a protein involved in cell-cell communication, lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, and helicase is involved in unwinding the DNA double helix.


What is the term for the 5' DNA strand?

The term for the 5' DNA strand is the leading strand.


What strand of DNA would be prod from the template strand of DNA shown below?

The complementary strand of DNA to the template strand TACGGCTA would be ATGCCGAT.


What is the term for the DNA strand that acts as a pattern to the newly synthesized DNA?

The DNA strand that acts as a pattern for the newly synthesized DNA is called the template strand. It serves as a guide during DNA replication, where complementary nucleotides are added to create a new DNA strand.


What is the role of the DNA new strand?

It is a copy of the Dna original strand.

What is the term for the 3' to 5' strand of DNA?

The term for the 3' to 5' strand of DNA is the "antisense strand."


During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?

GGATCGA. Each base in the original DNA strand pairs with its complementary base (A with T and C with G) in the new strand during DNA replication.


What is the complementary DNA strand of CCTAGCT?

GGATCGA is comlementary to the DNA strand CCTAGCT.


Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?

The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.
