What else can I help you with?
In the double helix shape of DNA what series of nucleotides would match the nucleotide series g-a-c-t?
The complementary nucleotide sequence to G-A-C-T is C-T-G-A. In DNA, guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) and adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T).
How would you describe the shape of DNA?
DNA has a double helix shape, resembling a twisted ladder. It consists of two strands that wind around each other, forming a structure that is stable and can store genetic information. Each strand is made up of nucleotides containing a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases.
How would you describe the structure dna?
DNA is a double-stranded molecule that resembles a twisted ladder, known as a double helix. It consists of four different nucleotide bases - adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine - that pair up in specific combinations. These base pairs provide the genetic instructions that determine an organism's traits and characteristics.
What is the moleculer shape of dna?
DNA molecule is shaped like a spiral staircase and is composed of two parallel strands of linked subunits.
What would the end of the double helix look like if the strands were parallel?
If the strands of the double helix were parallel, the end would appear as two straight lines running side by side, rather than twisting around each other. This configuration would not allow for the hydrogen bonding between the bases that stabilize the structure of the double helix in its normal form.
What would the ends of the double helix look like if the strands were parallel?
they would have 3' and 5' at the same end
Describe The structure of the double helix?
The structure of a DOUBLE HELIX is called the sugar phosphate backbone and gives the double helix its crisscrossing spiral appearance and it also has the job of holding everything together on the double helix, [Ex.: The sugar phosphate backbone is like the sides of a ladder, its what the bars in the middle of the ladder are attached to, (Bars= HYDROGEN BONDS) and without the sides of the ladder (without the sugar phosphate backbone) the middle bars can't make up the ladder (just like hydrogen bonds can't make up a double helix without something supporting it, not including the other parts of a double helix such as the nitrogenous bases, the nucleotides, the phosphate, and the sugar KNOWN AS DEOXYRIBOSE FOUND ONLY IN A DOUBLE HELIX.)]A single helix sugar is different from a double helix sugar, a single helix sugar is called ribose and a double helix sugar is called deoxyribose.
Does the book double helix by Nancy Werlin have cursing in it?
Yes, so I would recommend it for years 13 & up.
How would you identify what genes are expressed in a specific type of brain cell?
You look at the double helix which is located in the nucleus
What shape do chromosomes resemble?
If you mean as a whole, most chromosomes resemble the shape of the letter X. There may be a sex chromosome, and it may resemble the letter V in males of the species, though in that case, it is called a Y-Chromosome. During the anaphase of mitosis, they would be L-shaped.If you mean in terms of the shape of the genetic material, then chromosomes have a double-helix shape.
Microtubles and microfilaments are made from proteins that are shaped like?
Microtubules 50nm, make up the larger part of the cytoskeleton, and they are hollow, and larger. Microfilaments 8-10 nm are smaller, they are in a double helix shape, different from microtubules.
What is on the other side of a double helix ring that has guanine?
In a double helix structure of DNA, guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) on the opposite strand. Each guanine nucleotide forms three hydrogen bonds with its complementary cytosine, ensuring stable base pairing. Therefore, on the other side of a guanine in the double helix, you would find a cytosine nucleotide. This complementary pairing is crucial for the integrity and replication of the DNA molecule.
