How many bases does a double helix have after the complementary strand is added?
double the amount of bases (or x2)
What holds complementary bases together?
with hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases study island :)
Th multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as what?
Hydrogen Bonds D For PLATO
What is a complimentary base and how are they complimentary?
Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix. Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix.
How are the strands held together in the double helix?
On a single strand of DNA the nucleotides are held together by covalent bonding between the phosphate group bonded to the 5' end of the deoxyribose, which bonds to another deoxyribose molecule attached to the next nucleotide on the strand at the 3' end of the sugar. This is what holds together a single strand. When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand.
. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
How are complementary of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.

How are complementary nitrogenous bases held together?
hydrogen bonds
Te multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as?
Hydrogen bonds.
What binds complementary bases together?
The complementary bases in DNA are bind together by hydrogne bonds Adinine bind with thymine by 2 H-bonds Guanine bind with cytosine by 3 H- bonds
What links a pair of complementary bases together?
phospo-di-ester bond
Th multiple relatively weak bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases that hold double stranded DNA together are known as what?
Hydrogen Bonds D For PLATO
What are enzymes that open up the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds that like complementary bases?
helicase helicase
What causes the two sides of a double helix of DNA to stay joined together?
The two strands stick together due to the attraction between complementary bases. In DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine and Cytosine binds to Guanine.
What are nitrogen bases attached to?
Nitrogen bases attach to deoxyribose sugar, in nucleotides.
