DNA is linear, so there must be two ends to it. (Prokaryote circular genomes have a 5' and 3' end as well, but only for directional purposes).

Watson and Crick called a 3-dimensional shape of DNA an?
Double helix
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
If the base sequence on one DNA strand is ATGGCCTAG what is the sequence on the strand of the helix?
The sequence on the strand of the helix is TACCGGATC.
What is the 2nd step of DNA replication?
1. DNA unzips 2. Nitrogen bonds floating outside of the nucleus attach with the unzipped DNA. 3. Two DNA strands with the exact same bases are formed.
What would the end of the double helix look like if the strands were parallel?
they would have 3' and 5' at the same end
What is the name for the DNA structure?
Normally, DNA forms a right-handed double helix but it can also come in other forms.
What is the 3-d dimensional shape of the DNA molecule called?
double helix

If the base sequence on one DNA strand is ATGGCCTAG what is the sequence on the strand of the helix?
The sequence on the strand of the helix is TACCGGATC.
DNA molecule antiparallel Why?
The DNA molecule is anti-parallel. This is because the two strands are the opposite of one another, such that if one strand has the base sequence ATC, the opposite strand would have the base sequence TAG.
Describe the 3 dimensional structure of DNA?
DNA has two polynucleotide molecules that spiral around an imaginary axis to form a double helix. only certain bases in the double helix are compatible with each other. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.
What are the release dates for DNA Discovered in the Bible - 2012 Triple Helix Genetically Changing Mankind Into Beasts 1-3?
DNA Discovered in the Bible - 2012 Triple Helix Genetically Changing Mankind Into Beasts 1-3 was released on: USA: 29 August 2012
What end of the DNA molecule allows the best access for DNA polymerase during replication?
3'OH end 3'OH end
What scientist proposed that DNA was a triple stranded helix?
Maurice Wilkins & Rosalind Franklin : they developed a high quality x-ray diffraction photographs of strands of DNA. these photographs suggested that the DNA molecule resembled a tightly coiled helix and and was composed of 2 or 3 chains of nucleotides .
What are the various characteristics of Watson -crick double helix model for DNA?
here are some characteristics: 1. The Double Helix Structure 2. The Ladder Shape 3. The Twisted Form
What would the end of the double helix look like if the strands were parallel?
they would have 3' and 5' at the same end
