Each strand in the double helix is identical to the opposite strand?
No each strand is complementary to the other, not identical. Opposite strands will run in the opposite direction with nucleotides that complement the other strand Ex. 5actgactgactg3 & 3tgactgactgac5
How many bases does a double helix have after the complementary strand is added?
double the amount of bases (or x2)
One strand of dna faces the opposite direction of the other strand?
Yes, this is called antiparallel. CGTACC GCATGG Like that.
Is Each strand in the double helix is identical to the opposite strand?
No. Each base (A, G, T, C) pair with their respective base on the opposite strand making them exact opposites of each other. A - T G - C C - G A - T T - A
What are the three bases on one strand of DNA or mRNA called?
codon
What are the bases on the complimentary strand of bases for strand with the bases AAGCCA?
TTCGGT
What DNA strand would bond opposite?
assuming that 5' CTGA 3': 3' GACT 5'

If one strand of DNA had bases ordered atccgtc what would be the bases of its other strand?
Watson and Crick established that A (adenine) is always found opposite T (Thymine), and G (Guanine) is always opposite C (cytosine). A-T, G-C. Therefore, reading from left to right, the complementary strand would be T C A G.
If the sequence of bases in one DNA strand is TAG then the sequence of bases in the other strand will be?
The corresponding mRNA strand would be AUCG.
A protein contains 131 amino acids How many bases will there be on the mRNA strand corresponding to these amino acids and how do you know?
131*3=393 bases might be there on mRNA strand 3 codons of mRNA strand deduce an aminoacid of a protein, so here, mRNA strand bases are being asked.
What is the particular side-by-side arrangement of bases along the DNA strand?
To what particular DNA strand are you referring?
Are the leading strand and lagging strand of DNA replication copied in the same direction?
No, both will be synthesized in opposite directions
How many bases does a double helix have after the complementary strand is added?
double the amount of bases (or x2)
A strand of mRNA has the bases adenine-cytosine- Which amino acid corresponds to these bases?
Pro. Thr.
A strand of mRNA has the bases adenine-cytosine-uracil Which amino acid corresponds to these bases?
Pro. Thr.
One strand of dna faces the opposite direction of the other strand?
Yes, this is called antiparallel. CGTACC GCATGG Like that.
