it breaks down "muses"............yes that's the correct term

What happens right before RNA polymerase begins work?
The DNA double helix unwinds.
What happens right before RNA polymerase begins to work?
The DNA double helix unwinds.
What is the function of DNA polymerase III?
three different roles in DNA polymerase are 1. binding of enzymes to existing DNA 2. Unwinding of the double helix 3. Synthesis of a new matching strand for each existing strand
What is the process in which the DNA double helix unfold and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand?
I believe it's called replication. not really sure though...
What is a double helix DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA can exist in the double helix form, but only DNA is completely stable as a double helix. The double helix RNA is usually only short "hairpin" sections folding back on itself, never the long essentially linear form of double helix DNA.
What happens right before RNA polymerase begins work?
The DNA double helix unwinds.
What happens right before RNA polymerase begins to work?
The DNA double helix unwinds.
What happens when a helicase doesn't work?
Replication would be hard pressed to take place. Helicase is the enzyme that splits the double helix and unwinds this helix so that DNA polymerase can do it's job of running the leading and lagging strands of DNA in the replication process.
What enzymes are responsible for replication of the DNA molecule?
Helicase is the enzymes that splits the double helix into two separate strands, and DNA Polymerase (as opposed to RNA Polymerase) joins the nucleotides together in the new strands being created.
What bonds do helicase and polymerase enzymes break?
I would say Hydrogen Bond.
What must happen to a DNA molecule before RNA ploymerase can make RNA?
The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand. The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand.
What happens when a DNA double helix is formed?
the ladder
Which bases are complementary to one another how are they held together in the double helix of DNA?
Adenine binds to Thymine Guanine binds to Cytosine Hydrogen bonding holds the bases together.
what is the shape of a DNA?
double helix
What is the unique pairing pattern between nucleotides?
Within the Dna double helix molecule Adenosine hydrogen binds only with Thymine while Cytosine hydrogen binds only with Guanine.
What happens first when a DNA double helix is formed?
the ladder
Which step happens first in DNA replications?
The first thing that happens is a replication structure binds to the DNA molecule. This is usually a signalling molecule or some type of protein. Next, this replication structure attracts DNA helicase enzymes which "unzip" the double stranded helix.
