What separates DNA strands when DNA copies itself?
Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.
What does the letter P in DNA stand for?
P stands for phosphorus. DNA has a backbone made up of phosphate groups linked to deoxyribose sugars through phosphodiester bonds
How do you tranlate DNA to DNA?
You don't. You replicate DNA to DNA, using enzymes such as helicase, DNA polymerase I and III, RNA primase and DNA ligase. However, you can translate RNA into polypeptides chains, using tRNA, a ribosome and a mRNA matrix
How is RNA polymerase used in RNA?
From the Biology book I have studied in my 9th grade schooling...RNA polymerase is an enzyme much like that of DNA polymerase. Both enzymes, RNA and DNA polymerase, "unzip" the DNA. (Keep in mind that DNA is in the shape of a double helix, so think of it as a twisted ladder being sawed straight down the middle.)Now, hold on, first you need to know more about DNA to understand how RNA polymerase is used in making RNA.-DNA is made up of two Pairs of Nucleotides stacked on top of one another, and each parallel to the other... bonded in the middle with weak hydrogen bonds, like so..(untwist the Double helix and you'd get this...)(...ETC)PSN-NSP PSN-NSP PSN-NSP PSN-NSP(ETC...)-Nucleotides are three part units (bolded above) made of... a Phosphate (P), a Five-carbon Sugar (S), and a Nitrogenous Base (N). ("-" Is the weak hydrogen bond between the Nitrogenous Bases.)Explanation for Each...-(S), The Five Carbon Sugar in DNA, is deoxyribose (it's ribose, like in RNA, but with one less oxygen molecule). Hence we get the term DNA, DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, from... DNA's five carbon sugar, it's location in the Nucleus, and the fact that it (it has a pH level of less than 6) is an Acid.-(P), The Phosphate, Just sits there in my opinion. I don't know much about it.-(N), The Nitrogenous Base. Nitrogenous Bases can be four different types in DNA:Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C)
What is the mechanism of phenol during DNA extraction?
Phenol is an organic solvent that creates a hydrophobic environment for proteins to precipitate. The precipitated proteins can later be removed through centrifugation thus allowing the easy isolation of DNA from the cell
What contains phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both ! Both are made of nucleotides : phosphate-ribose-nucleic acid. The strands are made by the linkage of phosphates on riboses : P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-etc. The difference between DNA and RNA is that the ribose molecule is dehydrated (DNA) or not (RNA). DNA means DeoxyriboNucleic Acid RNA means RiboNucleic Acid
Why removing RNA from DNA preparation?
When making DNA preparation why do you need RNA? :P Ya it is done because it may interfere with your next experiments.
When do strands of DNA form chromosomes?
When dividing to create genes for offspring. :p
In DNA where does the RNA attach during protein construction?
DNA is transcribed to RNA and a bunch of things happen and then that RNA binds to another kind of RNA that makes use of another RNA that brings in Amino Acids to the A, P, and E sites of the Ribosomal unit.
What separates DNA strands when DNA copies itself?
Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.
What are two kinds of RNA?
There are several types of RNA, they are as follows: mRNA (messanger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), SRP RNA (signal recognition particle RNA), snRNA (small nuclear RNA), RNase P (ribonuclease P), and aRNA (antisense RNA)
What does the letter P in DNA stand for?
P stands for phosphorus. DNA has a backbone made up of phosphate groups linked to deoxyribose sugars through phosphodiester bonds
Which enzymes do scientists use to bind a new gene to plasmid DNA?
The enzymes to join DNA fragments are called ligases. Two of the most common are: 1) T4 DNA ligase (from bacteriophage T4), this enzyme, a single polypeptide of Mr = 68 kDa, catalyses the formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent 3'-OH and 5'-P termini in DNA; and 2) T4 RNA ligase, that catalyzes the covalent joining of 5'-phosphoryl, single stranded DNA or RNA to 3'-hydroxyl, single stranded DNA or RNA. T4 RNA ligase increases the efficiency of blunt-end ligation of double-stranded DNA catalyzed by T4 DNA ligase.
How do you tranlate DNA to DNA?
You don't. You replicate DNA to DNA, using enzymes such as helicase, DNA polymerase I and III, RNA primase and DNA ligase. However, you can translate RNA into polypeptides chains, using tRNA, a ribosome and a mRNA matrix
What does nuleic acid do?
OK nucleic acid is a compensation of chemical groups sugar p group and nitrogen base actually it's in a form of double strand call DNA dio ribo nucleic acid or single strand call RNA ribo nucleic acid so RNA is form of protein store and DNA is a genetic code store moor info search about RNA transcription and DNA replication
What is the function of the nitrogen in the human body?
There a number of important elements that the body uses: C,H,N,O,P, S (CHNOPS). As you see nitrogen is one of these 6. The most important use is in the nitrogen bases. These include DNA and RNA. Each has a nitrogenous base. The ones in DNA code for proteins. This code is for production of an organism such as ourselves. RNA also has bases and RNA is important in the "reading" and "translation" of these bases.
What are dna and rna molecules made up of?
DNA and RNA molecules are polymers (like polysaccharides and proteins). The building blocks (monomers) of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Each nucleotide is made up of a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. In terms of elements, they are made up of P, O, N, C, and H. In a recent find, though, a bacterial strain was using As instead of P.
