a chromosome
The long strand of DNA and protein is called a chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and contain genes that carry genetic information. They condense and become visible during cell division.
DNA double strand
If you were to stretch the DNA from a cell out, the strand would be about 6 feet long.
it is like a long strand of dna, liike a bacteriophage
A cell's DNA is typically found in the nucleus of the cell, organized into structures called chromosomes. Some cells, like red blood cells, may not have a nucleus, in which case the DNA is found in the cell's cytoplasm.
The enzyme responsible for extending the new DNA strand by adding nucleotides is DNA polymerase. It reads the template strand and adds complementary nucleotides to form a new DNA strand. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction.
Okazaki fragments are the small DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication. They are later joined together by DNA ligase to form a continuous strand.
To stabilize DNA in its single-strand form a single-strand DNA-binding protein or SSB is required. The SSB removes secondary structures from the DNA allowing the effective functioning of other enzymes on it, prevents any premature annealing and stops nucleases from digesting the single-strand DNA.
The dna strand is a exstractisies
Ligase joins okazaki fragments to each other to form a continuous strand of DNA
Semiconservative DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. It involves separating the DNA strands and using each strand as a template to synthesize a new complementary strand.
The DNA strand in E. coli is approximately 1.36 millimeters long when fully stretched out.
