The structure of DNA can be compared to a ladder. It has an alternating chemical phosphate and sugar backbone, making the "sides" of the ladder. (Deoxyribose is the name of the sugar found in the backbone of DNA.) In between the two sides of this sugar-phosphate backbone are four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). (A grouping like this of a phosphate, a sugar, and a base makes up a subunit of DNA called a nucleotide.) These bases make up the "rungs" of the ladder, and are attached to the backbone where the deoxyribose (sugar) molecules are located.

What is the Structural formula of 4-ethyl-234-trimethyloctane?
Draw a line of 8 carbons, and join them by single bonds. This is the backbone of your molecule, the octane part. Now draw lines to represent the rest of the bonds on the backbone, one above and one below each carbon, and one more at each end ( a total of 18). Imagine the carbons numbered from the left (you could use the right, but you have to pick one.) Put a CH3 group above each of carbons 2, 3 and 4. Put a C2H5 group below carbon 4. Add an H at the end of each empty line. Now check: you should have a total of 13 C's and 28 H's.
Why does DNA move toward the positive electrode?
because DNA is of negative charge thus it will travel towards the positive pole due to attraction.....and the movement of the DNA is also facilitated by the repulsion of the positive pole which is near by to DNA
When did DNA Publications end?
DNA Publications ended in 2007.
What are the principles of restriction enzyme use in removing sections of the genome?
Restriction enzymes can act only on double strand DNA . Restriction enzyme recognizes and hydrolyzes the backbone of DNA between deoxyribose and phosphate groups at or near the restriction sites. This leaves a phosphate group on the 5` ends and a hydroxyl on the 3` end of both the strands . Thus digestion with restriction enzymes results in the fragmentation of the double stranded DNA molecule.
When did DNA Plant Technology end?
DNA Plant Technology ended in 2002.
Is the 5 prime end of DNA charged?
Yes. The 5' end of a DNA strand ends in a phosphate group. At physiological pH values, this group has a charge of -2. The other phosphate groups along the sugar-phosphate backbone have a charge of -1 each.
What do you call a line with an arrow on each end?
A line with a point at each end is known as a segment. A line with an arrow on each end, however, is known simply as a line.
What is a line with an arrowhead at each end?
in engineering drawing, a line with an arrow at each end is called a dimension line
What is 5' and 3' in DNA?
A single-stranded non-circular DNA molecule has two non-identical ends, the 3' end and the 5' end (usually pronounced "three prime end" and "five prime end"). The numbers refer to the numbering of carbon atoms in the deoxyribose, which is a sugar forming an important part of the backbone of the DNA molecule. In the backbone of DNA the 5' carbon of one deoxyribose is linked to the 3' carbon of another by a phosphate group. The 5' carbon of this deoxyribose is again linked to the 3' carbon of the next, and so forth.
At the end of s phase each chromosome has how many coiled dna molecules?
2 coiled DNA molecules.
What is repeated at the end of each verse?
A line that is repeated at the end of each verse is called as REFRAIN.
What is a line called with a filled dot on each end?
A line segment.
What do you call a piece of a line with an endpoint on each end?
line segment
A line that is thin and dark and has an arrowhead at each end is called?
Dimension Line
When entering a text in the Word document window must you press the ENTER key when the insertion point reaches the right margin.?
No. Word will automatically wrap text onto the next line for you. You should only press Enter at the end of the paragraph. Pressing it at the end of each line makes each individual line a separate paragraph which makes things more complicated when you want to format your document.No. Word will automatically wrap text onto the next line for you.

What does a line segment look like?
A line segment is a straight line with two points at the end of each side of the line.
