the terms that describe the strands of a DNA molecules are complementary( because of the complementary base pairing existing between them by hydrogen bonding), antiparallel (because one of the strand is in 5'3' direction, while the other in 3'5'direction according to the direction of the 3rd and 5th carbon of the deoxyribose sugar and its the one strand, antisense strand is the coding strand for the transcriiption to mRNA while the other is noncoding

The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen base pairs.


In DNA molecule how many polynucleotide strands are present?

In a DNA molecule, two polynucleotide strands are present. These strands are arranged in a double helix structure, with each strand consisting of a sequence of nucleotides that are complementary to each other.


Number of strands on the DNA molecule?

each strand in the DNA molecule has a gap of 3.4 angstrom(Ao) between them. the total length of one series of strand or 1 DNA molecule is 34 Ao. therefore 34/3.4=10. there are 10 strands or N2 base pairs in a DNA molecule.

How do they bond within each other across strands?

Strands within a molecule can bond to each other through interactions such as hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or hydrophobic interactions. These bonds occur due to the chemical properties of the molecules involved and help stabilize the overall structure of the molecule.


Is a DNA strand the same as a DNA molecule?

The DNA molecule is composed of two DNA strands.


Are the two strands of DNA identical to each other?

No, the two strands of DNA are not identical to each other. They are complementary and have opposite sequences of nucleotide bases.


How many strands of nucleotides are in a DNA molecule?

There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).


At the end of replication each new DNA molecule is composed of?

After DNA replication, each new molecule has one strand of the original DNA molecule and the other strand is composed of new nucleic acids. This is due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA.
