DNA is a macromolecule made of many nucleotide subunits; these subunits are made of a nitrogen-containing base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group. DNA is also associated with many different types of proteins that help keep It maintained and organized within the cell.
The bases are either single rings called pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine) or double-ringed purines (Adenine and Guanine). The bases (represented as T, C, A or G) are bonded to a deoxyribose sugar, this sugar is also bonded to phosphate groups. The deoxyribose sugars and the phosphate groups alternate to form the backbone of one DNA strand. Two strands are arranged into a double helix, each strand is anti-parallel to the other (they point in opposite directions like lanes in a two way street).
DNA is organized and coiled within the cell by histonesand other proteins.
*DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
What else can I help you with?
How is DNA tested and why?
by DNA fingerprinting method , DNA-DNA hybirdization or DNA sequencing. to know the sequence of DNA
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
The four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair are DNA polymerase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and DNA primase. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands, DNA helicase unwinds the double helix, DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand, and DNA primase synthesizes RNA primers for DNA polymerase to begin replication.
How would the DNA of the human compare to the DNA of the duck?
DNA is DNA it can not be changed.
What is the function of DNA helicare in DNA replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA. It separates the two strands of DNA so DNA replication can occur.
What is a synonym for DNA replication?
IT can be called * DNA duplication * DNA reproduction * DNA imitation
The cells hereditary material?
DNA
What is the DNA process?
DNA synthesis or DNA replication
How does the DNA helix relate to DNA?
It is how the DNA is constructed.
Are genes in DNA or are DNA in geans?
genes are in DNA
Why is recombinant DNA a new form of DNA?
Recombinant DNA is a new form of DNA because it is created via introduction of the relevant DNA into the existing organismal DNA.
Why is recombination DNA a new form of DNA?
Recombinant DNA is a new form of DNA because it is created via introduction of the relevant DNA into the existing organismal DNA.
What enzyme is used to join DNA nucleotides?
In DNA replication, DNA polymerase III is the enzyme which joins the DNA nucleotides together via phospodiester bonds.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.
