The continually elongating strand of new DNA at one side of a replication fork during DNA replication is called the leading strand. It is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction by DNA polymerase.
New strands of DNA can only be created in one direction - 5' to 3'. This is because only the 3' end of the DNA is able to join to a new nucleotide. The two strands of DNA are antiparallel - meaning they run in different directions. Therefore only one strand (called the leading strand) is running in the correct direction for continuous replication. The other strand (called the lagging strand) must first be looped around so that small sections can be replicated in the correct direction.
no dna s are of double strands only
no dna s are of double strands only
in a direction opposite to that of the replication fork
The two strands of nucleotides in a DNA molecule run in opposite directions, referred to as antiparallel. This means that one strand runs in a 5' to 3' direction while the other runs in a 3' to 5' direction. This arrangement is essential for DNA replication and other cellular processes.
DNA ligase creates phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides, forming a continuous DNA strand. These bonds are essential for sealing nicks and breaks in the DNA backbone during processes like DNA replication, repair, and recombination.
10000 DNA strands.
No idea. Biologers
the specific sequence of bases along the DNA strands
Yes. Also, of the two strands of DNA, only one is the template that will be transcribed, while the other strand is a noncoding strand of DNA.
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
