What is recombiant DNA?

A DNA molecule made in vitro with segments from different sources


A firefighter stood on a middle rung of a ladder An explosion made him walk down 7 rungs .He later climbed 15 rungs and then the remaining last 3 rungs to the top.How many rungs did the ladder have?

25 rungs


Whats the name of the segments of a DNA molecule that are each made up of many rungs?

DNA is an example of a macromolecule, i.e. a large molecule with a special shape, which is built up from many smaller parts called sub-units .If you could magnify part of a nucleus, you would see the DNA molecule looking like a twisted rope ladder - a double helix. The two strands forming the sides of the ladder give it a strong yet flexible structure, which does not vary along its length. Stretched between these are the "rungs" of the ladder, the parts of the DNA molecule which vary, and so the differences carry genetic information. These parts are made up of sections called bases, which fit together in pairs. Single section of DNA The 4 bases (so called because on their own they react with acids) are also usually known by their initials, as shown alongside: A (adenine), paired with T (thymine) and C (cytosine) paired with G (guanine).


What is the role of DNA in determining and organisms traits?

Yes, the DNA molecule is made up of segments of coding called Genes. Each gene codes to make a different protein or genetic characteristic.


The sides of a ladder are parallel Since the rungs are perpendicular to one side of the ladder what conclusion can be made?

The rungs are perpendicular to both sides

What are the internal blocks or rungs of the DNA ladder?

The four nitrogen bases, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Adenine. Thymine and Cytosine are pyrimidines and Guanine and Adenine are purines. Thymine bonds with Adenine and Cytosine bonds with Guanine.

A wooden ladder usually have rungs made from wooden dowels with tapered ends. An aluminium ladder would have extruded aluminium rungs.


What are the rungs steps of a DNA molecule made of?

The 'steps' or 'rungs' of the DNA 'ladder' are complimentary pairs of bases bonded by hydrogen bonds. The bases are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. Adenine always bonds to Thymine and Cytosine always bonds to Guanine.
