What is the complementary sequence to the DNA strand TCGATGG?
AGCTACC. Thymine pairs with adenine and cytosine pairs with guanine.
What are the nitrogenous bases for DNA and RNA?
Pyrimidines, which include cytosine, thymine and uracil.andPurines, which include adenine and guanine
What forms a base pair with thymine?
Adenine pairs with thymine.
Where is a molecule split during replication?
At a specific location known as the "replication fork," DNA splits or "unzips" during replication. The split of the double-stranded DNA molecule into two single strands occurs at the replication fork. Due to this division, the replication apparatus may access and duplicate each of the single DNA strands, resulting in the creation of two identical DNA molecules that each include one original and one freshly manufactured strand. DNA replication is necessary for cell division and the genetic information transfer to daughter cells.
If adenine makes up 30 percent of the bases in a DNA helix what percentage of the bases are cystosine?
There are four bases in the DNA double helix: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. An adenine in one strand always pairs with a thymine in the other strand. Similarly, a cytosine always pairs with a guanine. So the number of adenines always equals the number of thymines, and the number of cytosines always equals the number of thymines. The total number of bases must equal 100%. So if 30% of the bases are adenine, another 30% must be thymine because they always pair with each other. Thymine and adenine added together therefore make 60% of the bases. The remaining 40% must be cytosine plus guanine. If the number of cytosines must equal the number of guanines, the percentage of cytosines must be ....... well, you can work it out for yourself!
How do base pairing rules explain how a strand of DNA acts as a template during DNA replication?
the 4 nucleotide bases are adenine, guanine, thymidine & cytosine. In a double stranded DNA adenine always pairs with thymidine & guanine always pairs with cytosine. so knowing the base pairs in strand we can determine the base pairs of the other strand. hence DNA strand acts as a template during DNA replication.
According to the DNA base pairing rules cytosine always bonds with what?
In DNA adenine pairs with thymine. In RNA adenine pairs with uracil.
What always pairs up with adenine?
In DNA adenine pairs with thymine. In RNA adenine pairs with uracil.
In DNA replication adenine bindes with what?
In DNA replication A (adenosine) binds to T (thymidine).
Which base in RNA pairs with adeine?
Uracil. There are five bases in RNA/DNA. They are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil. In DNA: Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine pairs with Cytosine In RNA: Adenine pairs with Uracil and Guanine pairs with Cytosine
In the DNA ladder cytosine always pairs with thymine.?
False. In a DNA molecule, guanine pairs with adenine.
Does DNA replication use thymine?
I guess yes. Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine are the nitrogenous bases for DNA, So when it replicates It should use T to complementary-pairs to A.
What does adenine match with?
In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine. In RNA, adenine pairs with uracil.
In DNA what does adenine always pair up with?
In DNA replication, adenine binds with thymine. In RNA, adenine binds with uracil.
Adenine complements with what in DNA RNA?
In DNA: Adenine base pairs with Thyamine A=T In RNA: Adenine base pairs with Uracil A=U
How many nucleotides make up DNA and what are their names?
There are four nucleotides that make up DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. There are billions of them that make up one strand of DNA. Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine. Also, in the Rna during DNA transcription, Uracil replaces Thymine and pairs with Adenine instead. Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)
How are DNA replication and transcription similar?
RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication. Also in DNA replication the compliment of Adenine is Thymine. In transcription the compliment of Adenine is Uracil.
