The enzyme that restores the phosphodiester linkage between adjacent fragments in the lagging strand during DNA replication is?
DNA Ligase
HIV virus contain plus strand or minus strand?
It's plus strand
How are the strands held together in the double helix?
On a single strand of DNA the nucleotides are held together by covalent bonding between the phosphate group bonded to the 5' end of the deoxyribose, which bonds to another deoxyribose molecule attached to the next nucleotide on the strand at the 3' end of the sugar. This is what holds together a single strand. When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand.
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.
Another name of single strand wire?
Another name that can be used for a single-strand wire is thread or strand.
The enzyme that restores the phosphodiester linkage between adjacent fragments in the lagging strand during DNA replication is?
DNA Ligase
Covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the of the next nucleotide bond nucleotides together in a DNA strand.?
Covalent bonds that sugar as one of one nucleotide to the next bond is together done come together as a DNA strand. This is taught in science.
What types of linkage joins the nucleotides a within a single DNA strand and b between two single DNA strands?
Hydrogen Bonds
Ultraviolet light can damage bacterial cells by causing two adjacent nucleotides on a DNA strand to bond called?
Thymine dimerazation.
What holds one strand against the other in the double helix?
Hydrogen bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen accross the covalent bonds involving a free pair of electrons
What type of chemical bond holds together the backbone of a strand of DNA?
Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.
Describe the 3d structure of DNA?
DNA is double helical in structure. each spiral strand, composed of a sugar phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by hydrogen bonding (non- covalent) between paired bases, adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C).
How are nucleic acids held together?
Through covalent and hydrogen bonds. The covalent bonds hold the pentose sugar-phosphate backbone together and are alternatively called phosphodiester bonds. The hydrogen bonds are between the nitrogen bases and hold the "rungs" of the ladder together.
The strand of DNA that is not transcribed is called the strand.?
RNA polymerase runs in one direction and is making up a single strand of mRNA. So, the strand not copied in the antiparallel double stranded DNA is called the nonsense strand. ( sense strand is copied )
HIV virus contain plus strand or minus strand?
It's plus strand
What is the birth name of Jimmy Strand?
Jimmy Strand's birth name is James Strand.
Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?
This is typically called the template DNA, which is the anti-sense strand of DNA. The strand that is not transcribed is called the sense strand.
